Yesterday, I got back home from dropping Emily off at school. It was 7:30 and the morning was so beautiful I decided to go to the local park and take a walk.
As I walked, I started reflecting on this past year. I celebrated my 47th birthday this past week and I've been in a rather reflective state lately.
As you all know, I've taken off alot of weight this past year....87 pounds! And sometimes I can get so discouraged by how far I have yet to go that I forget to focus on how far I've come. A year ago I would have NEVER taken a two-mile walk first thing in the morning. OK, once I had grand aspirations of taking the 1/2 mile walk down to the dead end of my street and I made it to the house next door with back and leg pain. I wondered what happened to that girl? In her place is someone who is healthy and strong! That walk was only the beginning of my day. I got home, cleaned my whole house and mowed the yard (with a push mower). Energy like crazy!
And its not just physical either. My entire perspective is better. I can keep up with my house including the yard. I feel better therefore I think better. I feel better therefore I move better. I feel better therefore I am better. My entire outlook on life has changed.
Who says you can't turn back the hands of time? This year I feel as though its been turned back 10 years. Happy Birthday, Rebecca! May this be your best year yet!!!!!
