Day 3,021

Growth:

There is a time to be a resource for others and to spend time helping them. There is also a time to ask others for help and appreciate the resources they provide. The former is so easy, the latter so much more difficult. Today I was reminded of how important it is to ask for help.

Appreciation:

Today has been a day of connections. Throughout the entirety of the day I’ve been interacting with others almost nonstop. Each has brought joy to my day. Typically I prefer more time on my own, but the increased number of interactions seemed like exactly what I needed today. To everyone I had a conversation with – THANK YOU!!! 

Presence:

My run this morning with Becky felt especially awesome for a couple of reasons. 

First off, she headed out of town for the weekend so our run was our last bit of time together likely until our run on Monday morning. That meant I was extra focused on enjoying the time with her.

Secondly, my legs felt totally exhausted from the combination of different types of workouts throughout the week. The tiredness added extra focus from the additional effort to keep on moving. Each step was felt a little more than normal.

Waking up early for our 5am run is never easy, but I never regret it afterwards. The presence and focus it brought my mind early in the morning was awesome!

Thanks!!!
