Saturday, Sunday and Monday
in my “feed” that means running reports
The rest of the week?
Well, a Hodge podge of things but…
mostly about running and upcoming races

What does this say about me?
I don’t’ really know but I do know one thing
Being sidelined has taught me much
But learning takes time and repetition
Like any habit

I am not running (or in my case, walking)
I am not my accomplishments
I am not my medical degree
I am not my Naval career
I am not my running medals
I am not my house or car
(well, except that both are old like me)

I am a well of experiences and even wisdom
I am full of past mistakes
But also lessons learned
I am here for others
I am a mass of energy that has a purpose

But that purpose differs now
It’s not the purpose that drove me
It’s to be kind and generous now
To help and give to others as much as possible
To be supportive and understanding
To care and comfort when they need it
To hold space for those who are scared

Look deep within to see yourself
Take the time to find what’s behind what you do
You are not just one thing
No one is
You are multidimensional but often don’t know it
Take a chance.
Do something new
Write something new

That comfort zone becomes a prison all too soon
Let other see the beauty within you
Not just the external “things” you do
There is so much to you
I know I want to see inside
I want to enter within
But you must be brave enough

Who are you?
