So I started my workout last night here at home and although it didn't "feel" like it was very effective, I did manage to wake up a little sore today so I guess something must be happening in a good way.

After all the chaos I endured during a very long day today, I sat here for a while and contemplated something I said in my blog. I mentioned that I wasn't dealing well with my current state because I was unable to get out onto the track for the serenity I clearly desire. The more about that I thought, the more I realized that I put too much emphasis on that darn track. I decided that I can't let that track determine whether or not I get out and live my life. I mean it did get me motivated every day to leave the house and do things beyond my exercise but I realized today that it can't be the ONLY motivation. So today after all the stress, I decided to get myself back in for some exercise, take a nice shower and head out to run some errands for my daughter's baby shower. That got my motivated and I have to say, once I got out there I very much enjoyed being out and feeling productive.

I also found a little quiet and peace while doing my exercises. I guess the bottom line is that I just need to take it one day, possibly even one hour at a time to get through my stress. It seems like slow progress but I am still learning that I can take something positive away from every day if I "choose" to.

Lesson for the day: I learned that I can take a bad day and turn it around, I only have to make the effort to "want" to turn it around.

Wishing you Happiness and Light!

Until Next Time,
