Daily Gratitude: This took me a bit to figure out (ok so I’m slow). But once I did, I really liked it. It could be a good quote for a yoga studio too. Keep stretching. But it’s meant to remind us not to give up, especially when it seems there is nothing good happening or coming. I learned this at Vol State this year – for the first time. In the past when my legs would statt to feel empty or spent and they just slowed down on their own, I would find some place to rest (you know my good friend the guardrail). But this year I just kept moving them no matter what they felt like. Somehow I had come to the realization that I could still cover miles if I kept them moving even if not as fast. But if I stopped, I wasn’t covering anything and just wasting time. I’m not sure how that enlightenment happened but it soon became a conscious decision and i continued to do it. I think it made a difference. So no matter how you feel. If something is Important to/for you, don’t stop. You can ”feel sorry” for yourself while you continue to move. Just keep going.
