Happy Day

My sister Sarah really blessed me today. I woke up this morning early. Hoping that I wouldn't have, I drudged myself up and began flipping around on the computer. My mind was racing with "What If's" (I apparently must enjoy this in some masochistic way) and could tell that this just wasn't going to be my day. Not by fate, but obviously by choice. I was choosing to feel lousy. I was choosing to feel sorry for myself...etc.

But Sarah left me a message on this page. I am so glad she did. She seemed sad, lonely kinda and at that moment I thought it would be great (since she was up early too) if we could just get out in the fresh air and get our blood going. Feel some kind of life pumping through us and for me, to let me know I am ok and living for a reason. I wanted her to know that I was here for her too, whenever and for whatever reason. My gosh...she lives eactly 1 half block from me on the same street. *waving*

So, anyway, because I called her up and we went on our early morning brisk walk, my day completely changed from that moment. I felt happy, my legs hurt, but damn happy. Rachel and I went out to breakfast, helped out a friend, did some shopping for flowers and went to town on our front and side yard. I raked, I mowed, preened, pruned and planted. I went and enjoyed an impromptu BBQ at a friends that I normally would have turned down, 'cause ya know...I make myself the third wheel in my head and how fun could it really be? Well it was. Just me and Rachel with other couples. It was awesome.

I am completely worn out physically, but dang me if my head doesn't feel just right.

Thank you Sarah.

Cool! This would make a great post at the Great Slim Down, sharing how walking changed your day. I'm trying to approach exercise from the vantage point: that it's something I get to do instead of something that I'm forced to do.

It did change my day, so much so that I went again today. And will tomorrow. Kind of a nice "high" feeling when I am done. Oh and the fact that I am hoping for some nice lookin legs because of it ;)
