It was another cold, cold day, but at least there was no wind. I was grateful for that!

I am so incredibly sore from weight training. Running was painful, but spinning felt great!

  • There was a windchill of 7° so I decided to take my run indoors. It was not that bad.  For the first 8 miles, I listened to a Parkland survivior and an Iraq war vetern discuss how the practices of gratitude help them deal with the trauma of their every day life on the Happiness Lab podcast. The remainder of the run I contemplated various life themes, but mostly considered my readings from The Gift of Years by Joan Chittister. As I am beginning to entertain the idea of retirement in the next five years, I really welcome her ideas on aging. Her words are awakening in me the realization that I need to prepare my mind for these years so that I embrace the blessings of this time while learning how to overcome the burden of this time. It's a fascinating juxtaposition.
