Feels good to say….
So this past weekend, I went to Portland to visit my family. It was amazing NW weather.. Warm sunshine. The daphne and cherry trees were in full bloom. I was in the City.. I got up Sunday morning and ran my favorite route. It winds me around my old neighborhood, so it’s a run down memory lane, to say the least. I put the IPOD on random shuffle and EVERY song put a little extra pep in my step. And I used that 6 miles to really think.. and here’s what I came up with…….
I’m a city girl. I love being able to walk pretty much everywhere I want to go. And if I can’t, I can hop on a bus (yes, i have actually hopped on a bus) and get everywhere. I love sidewalks. I love curbs. I love the curbs that are all broken up because of the really old tree roots have buckled them. I love running up hill (ok.. maybe not WHILE i’m running up that hill but it is all about the bootay).. I love running up hill in a head wind..I love looking in the mirror after a good run and seeing my bright red sweaty face looking back at me… and i REALLY love that first glass of cold water post run….almost as much as I love that shower
Later that day, we got together at my sis and bro in law’s house for a tandom birthday celebration. It was so fun. My BIL’s a Naturopathic Doctor, and needless to say, we eat HEALTHY when we eat there! haha.. No wheat, dairy, gluten, or soy for us! As I was there, surrounded by all the festivities, I again, got to thinking… and here’s what I came up with….
I Love that 11 days shy of my 37th birthday, I’m the closest to knowing who I am.. who I want to be.. and how I will get there.
It was as simple as that…….
