  • ...sore ass...

    I'm REALLY out of shape if walking 30-40 mins a day for the past 2 days has got my ass sore.  but what can i do?  I AM out of shape.  So, I'll take the pain and at least I can still feel it. 

    Having a sore ass triggered a thought today as I was waiting for the bus in the cold.  I'm a realist that typically borders on the side of cynical/pessimistic.  But today, I decided that just because it's gloomy and cold, it wasn't a reason to let myself feel all gloomy and cold.  Of course this probably wouldn't last forever.  I'm taking the small achievements in the day, the small accomplishments as something big.  why?  Because then the BIG things are REALLY great.  This means that everyday is worth celebrating.  Surely, if you can wake up in the morning, then that's a blessing already no?  We rarely think of that.  instead, sometimes we take for granted what a gift it is to actually be able to get up and go in the morning.  Yes, even those who take HOURS to get up because of illness or whatnot will still get up when they can.  THEY could tell you that getting up in no easy feat, and to be able to do so is a big accomplishment.  So why not take a page from their book?  Be grateful for what you've been given. 

    Actually....what made me think of all this was waiting at the bus because I was cold.  It really had very little to having sore gluets.  BUT...it did make me more thankful when I was able to get a seat on the bus instead of standing there doing the bus surf! Instead of saying, "oh, I had to wait in the cold for 2 damn minutes." I changed the way I said it to, "I only had to wait in the cold for 2 minutes."  yeah...it seems like a little change, but personal change doesn't being by huge leaps to the moon.  They start small and get bigger. 

    egh...too much self motivation stuff that doesn't make sense?  well....either way, I hope you live a long happy life
