Day 3,963

Growth:

My theme for this year really helped power me through the run this morning and yoga this evening. After pounding the trails on Saturday my legs were quite stiff this morning. I really wanted almost nothing more than to chill in bed, go back to sleep, and let my legs rest. Instead I read my 2026 theme, Fortitudine Vincimus (by endurance, we conquer), got my butt out of bed, and hit the pavement with Becky. Within a couple of miles my legs had loosened right up! Same for yoga – eveything loosened up and felt better as the practice went on.

Appreciation:

I almost forgot how everything seems to almost flow towards us when we start to focus on that which is most important to us. The more we remember to focus on what we want to do with our lives the more we see the opportunities to make it happen. For sure, not some crazy magic creating things, rather, when we get our minds in tune we more easily see all of the possibilities we’ve been surrounded by but just never took the time to notice.

Presence:

That moment in which you realize one dream is just about to happen while simultaneously another takes root. One of those moments in which all one can do is pause, zoom out, and appreciate the moment. While the realization and the start of the dream are wonderful, the most joy in the moment was found in realizing how much I’d been enjoying the path leading to today!

Thanks!!!
