Back to basics....

My many remakings are remarkable in their own way. Each, to varying degrees, includes body, mind, and spirit. Each requires being proactive, rather than reactive.

Running always provides the necessary rubric. Running enables me to: regroup; renew; rework; reorganize; remember; and reenergize.

Running is not static; it requires constant movement. So too do I. Running is my restorative.

What Matters Most

Today was an exercise in remembering and realizing what matters most.  I completed that exercise successfully, and for that I am grateful.

I was planning to go to the mall for a gift and an outfit for a graduation party.  Instead, however, what mattered most was exercising.  I don't need the perfect gift, and if I'm more fit then I will fit into an outfit that I already own.  So, off to the gym I went for cross training and weights.  Done delightfully!

When my Son chose to be naughty, I chose not to engage.  What matters most for now is removing myself from the situation.  After a bit of time, he calmed down and I had not lost control.

My food focus is critical for me to get back on track.  What matters most is making that focus fun, which today included stopping by the local Farmers' Market.  The shitake mushrooms and fresh greens nicely complimented our family meal!

Finally, work worked for me today.  I was productive, which sometimes is sufficient.

What matters most is not doing it all or doing too much in one day, but is focusing on a few things.

Currently, I am living the lesson that eating well and being active results in more energy.  I am committed to continuing....
