We never know what life has in store for us. We go along each day like there will be no problems that arise, and that everything is going good…until it isn’t. We get thrown for a twist or turn that we were not expecting, and our life changes. Megan came home this weekend…for good. Sarah flew out to Virginia and they drove back together. Things may not always seem as they are. But, it does not mean that change can’t be for the better. Life is unpredictable, and we have to learn to go with the flow.
Now, of course, I am thrilled. She is back home to take time to figure out life, and where it may lead her. In the meantime, I have another running partner. We went with the run club this AM, and Megan and I covered 4 miles total running for me, plus another mile walking. This is the furthest I have run since my episode in March. Making progress! We had some time to talk. That is what is great about a running partner. You get to talk and help each other solve problems! We just need to help her realize that things can improve…it just depends on the day.
Some times our view of things can be a little hazy, and unclear. We may not know where life is going to lead us. That is what makes it unpredictable. But, that is also what makes is adventurous too. One thing is for sure, it is much easier to get through those “hazy” times when you have friends and family to lean on.
Our running family will always be there to remind you of how tough you are, and what you are made of!
Even Zeus is there to lend support whenever you need it. Here he is helping Sarah stretch before we went running this AM!
Zeus is always there Megan for you to lean on, and love as well. He is definitely happy you are home!
And, over time, that same view that before was hazy, and unknown, will then become clear, and you will know where you are headed, and know that change and challenge is what makes life not only unpredictable, but exciting as well! The view in the future will be brighter, and better!
You will know, for all of us, who in our lives matter, and who always will! Be ready for those changes. Be aware that some days will not be so clear. Life is a roller coaster with many ups and downs…with more ups than downs! Keep living! Keep focusing! Keep moving…everybody!
