Just when you thought, "well maybe she's not as committed as she says she is", this morning I did a four mile walk! It was a great feeling to move even though it was only one day off and the motivation level went down dramatically, I felt good about moving this old body for 4 miles. There wasn't any running because I did a 4 mile walking dvd. The air has been so heavy with sahara dust, it's been hard to breathe when walking outside. For those who don't know what sahara dust is, it's a large dust storm that comes off the coast of Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean and falls on us and the other Caribbean Islands with a blanket of "dust". It does have it's positive side though as it keeps storms from developing in the Atlantic Ocean.
I am in such a positive mood this morning. Knowing that it was going to be a great day, and so far so good. I'm upbeat and happy, filled with excitement about what the future holds for me. I have a very supportive husband, who loves me dearly, as I love him, and children and grandchildren who are the inspiration for my journey to better health.
It is true that one positive thought each morning can shape your whole day. Be happy, positive and smile a lot because if nothing else, how can you be negative when you're smiling?!
Already thinking about my long walk on Saturday. Haven't quite decided what the distance will be but whatever it is, I'll be happy and positive about doing it.
To Saturday and beyond...
