Being Jaded611

Something happened today.  

This journey I’m on came to be because I couldn’t climb up a flight of subway stairs, on my way home one day in August, without the aid of my asthma inhaler.  I stood there on the steps, wheezing, embarrassed, and truly ashamed.

Not today.

Today I quickly climbed those stairs, walked the long ramp, climbed the second set of stairs and was half way home when I realized that I wasn’t out of breath.  At all.

The weight may not be melting off of me as quickly as I would like, and I may have to shop at Lane Bryant just one last time, but this?  This felt amazing.  It stopped me in my tracks and made me smile.

I’m not that person anymore.
