The run-one-mailbox-a-day with a new twist

Doesn’t matter what we do, as long as it’s something

 

We all struggle with staying motivated. All of us. Even those that don’t seem to struggle.

In 1999 I wasn’t struggling to stay motivated, was struggling to get motivated.

And April Fool’s Day I ran from my mailbox to the first neighbor’s mailbox. And did that five days that first week.

The second week, from our mailbox, ran past the first neighbor’s mailbox to the next neighbor’s. Did that five times that week.

Third week three mail boxes a day. Fourth week, four a day for a week. A month before the equivalent to a lap around a track.

Now….the run-one-mailbox-a-day with a new twist.

Each day add one mailbox.

Today is day four and double inguinal hernia repair surgery return to running week.

All our healthy, vibrant dreams flushed down the drain?

Seems so.

Are we willing to start over or is quitting our way of life?

A choice is always available.

That’s what I did yesterday morning.

Walked one mile. Ultra-slow jog 100 meters. Walk a half mile. Done.

When nirvana visits us, will we recognize it?

Nirvana finally arrives tomorrow.

Are we waiting for nirvana?

Can we taste it?

Have we given up on it?

Nirvana is not a moment, it is the constant consciousness of our most profound blessings.

Like the ability to run.

And the past two weeks living in a country that has world class medical care.
