Maybe Tomorrow…
At graduation ceremonies from Middle School today, I was struck by the energy and hopefulness of the students who took to the podium and shared their experiences.
Energy… hopefulness… remember that?
Really, there’s almost nothing better than waking up in the morning with a spring in your step. Too often, I wake up in a daze because I am still tired (too many late nights watching Workout on Bravo, my guilty pleasure).
Okay, sometimes it’s because of that extra glass of wine. And yes, sometimes it’s because I forget to take my thryoid meds–despite the turning point documented in the book when I was half dead before I realized that if I would only take care of my health by taking my medicine, I would be all right again….
Maybe the spring has left my step because… I am not exercising. There you go, I admitted it.
Yes, I know, we have a whole chapter in the book about THE NEED TO EXERCISE AND TAKE YOUR HEALTH SERIOUSLY. Hmm. I’m afraid that exercising is the very first thing that gets chopped off my list when I have too much to do.
I have made peace with that. It comes and goes. As long as I maintain my weight (kinda) and commit to re-committing when I have time again (!), I cut myself a break on the exercise front. You just can’t have it all, all the time. Something has to give.
But when I saw those fresh faces today, all that repressed energy and those bright eyes, I did think to myself, maybe I’ll go for a run tomorrow…
