A few random thoughts to post before I go workout:
We went to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer at Adventure Theater — and in the show there was a line that said – Rudolph, you can’t run from your problems. Right after that line, a little girl in front of us asked her Mommy – why? That struck me as funny. Remember the innocence of being a kid? The are so black and white. For the most part they can run because they know Mommy and Daddy will take care of their problems — Ahh youth.
On a friend’s Facebook the other day:
‘People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together’I have let a few people in my life go the past few years because of change and it has been challenging but yet exhilarating. I was never the person who chose to let friends and family go even though it was the right thing to do. I am not the same person I was a few years ago and no longer accept people into my close circle unless they meet my criteria. I used to make accommodations for people simply because I felt I was the lucky one to have them in my life. I now know that I deserve people who are interested in me as much as I am in them. They put the effort into us as much as I put the effort in. They think about me in the context of their lives as much as I do to them. Relationships are give and take and for a while, I was willing to accept a lot more take than give. Another unexpected benefit of living healthy and fit —
