Finally!!

Finally...

- It's Friday!!!

- I got my legs back! I went for a run this morning in the cool rain and my legs felt amazing. And I was going at a pretty good clip.

- I'm gaining some acceptance. I have set-backs every now and then (like this morning when I couldn't refrain from spewing hate via text) but I quickly realized that I'm only allowing myself to be stuck in the chaos. And the quote my buddy, Rob, sent me yesterday helped...

Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is… The only problem in your life is your mind’s resistance to life as it unfolds.

- I am willing to ask for and accept help...in various forms. My eyes are open to the abundance of grace and hope I've been granted.

AND...

- I'm getting a coach!!! One that's super strong on the bike. One that believes I can get to Kona. One that wants to help me...and wants me to help him. Woo Hoo.
