This is a moving target and we know it

Without running, all this traveler sees is the airport and the hotel

 

One of the biggest contributors to our ability to handle the things that cause us stress, like tragedy, is our focus on our physical health.

This is a moving target and we know it.

Even though it’s difficult to accomplish it is not a reason to give up and accept less.

Knowing the weather in Saskatoon would be well below freezing the entire stay, the strategy switched from exercise to sleep.

Happy to report three consecutive nights with nearly eight hours sleep.

It’s obvious by the closed eyes this comes with the territory

Phillies stadium
Never a shortage of interesting places, many are visited before breakfast.

 

Sitting in Philadelphia International airport waiting for a short flight to NYC and eating a slice of pizza for lunch.

Too busy to run this morning (and too tired and too cold).

Too busy to write – until now.

Looking around, it’s obvious by the closed eyes in the boarding area that this comes with the territory.

Figure it out.

Mental attitude and physical wellbeing are blood relatives

Jogged past the truck, never saw anyone sitting in it

Gloves are so easily replaceable, it’s ridiculous to worry about it for a even a second

Thankful it was only a brush burn and not a broken arm, shoulder, wrist, etc

Mental attitude and physical wellbeing are blood relatives.

Jogged yesterday morning. Tripped and fell hard on the sidewalk. Brush burn on hip, hurt left shoulder, ripped holes in both gloves (it was 45 degrees in Orlando), and smashed the new iPhone 5s.

Jason, the Terminix driver, shouted as I lie on the ground, ‘Are you okay?”

It took a few minutes, but the attitude went from:

  • let’s sue for damages and neglect to…
  • thank goodness this wasn’t a car accident and no ambulance/hospital is needed

When we are balanced, we detach from old, societal habits quickly.

The peace and joy we gain is beyond the ability to articulate.

Do we have something we can be a part of for a long time to come?

Do we have something we can be a part of for a long time to come?

What if we did?

Could it change everything?

What’s the benefit to belonging to some sort of community or club or cause?

What’s the downside (or upside) of not?

It’s our choice and only our choice.

We know this.
