Running = Amazing

So mostly it takes a lot of coercion for me to go running.

Last night I pictured myself doing it and loving it and was determined that I would start in the morning and to run regularly.

Today it happened, the beginning of happy.

Endorphins mixed with energy made my day. I got so much done today that now I am pooped out and feel I deserve the relaxation I’m creating... candles, tea, watching my kiddos do their things. They have great ideas and are always up to something.

I haven’t written a positive post in some time because I felt terrible for such a stretch so I am very grateful now. There are still thoughts that make my heart skip a beat because it hurts so but in that case I go focus on the present moment and get through it alright.

Wishing you moments of peace and joy, of faith hope and love. ❤️

What’s that rap song that goes - today was a good day

Hey Kenster,

Yeah I think it was Ice Cube.

I’m already feeling some of the soreness but it feels good as it is a good reminder of something good happening... I plan to run 3-5 times a week.

Heeeeey there Lovetodance, good to ‘read’ you! May you be be blessed as well... thank you so much 😊 Hope you are well today!

Nice...i read somewhere that, eg. Excercise , or releasing endorphins and feeling good makes you look back and makes you realise at how negative you been thinking ..so good stuff for getting out and doing something different
