It's only 2 days but hey!

When I got up this morning and really took a close look at how I felt after a pretty hard night, I could have easily said, "okay no walk today, I hurt too much". And actually in the shower I kept saying it, over and over ha ha. I had decided that most of the nighttime pain was just my old body reacting after yesterdays surprise 3.2 mile walk. So therefore, I should go again and walk it off. Plus, the weather outside was incredible. So off I went, with my book too. This time I actually sat for 45 minutes reading since it was so pleasant. For me to read half a book in just two days is very exciting. Then, my loving wife just happened to drive by and of course offered me an easy out return trip home. I decided against that too an went all the way. As I walked around the lake, part of my motivation was remembering that Nadine and Elisabeth, two exchange students from Germany last year, did this walk every single morning, actually at a jogging pace. So it is easy for me to just try to do it at a walking pace. I finished in about 2 and a half hours again and felt pretty darn good. So I will once again try to keep it up. Last night was also our group meeting night at the Wellness Center so they were happy for me too. The group went very well and the chocolate shake at the end of the day made for a perfect exit to my bed and pain pills. It was a pretty good day.I also heard from my dear friends Inger and Eric on Mamma Tomte's blog which is always very uplifting and filled with encouragement from Norway. I am truly blessed. Walk each day with your eyes open to your own blessings.
