Every Monday, I think of the week ahead, look at my schedule and write down a little sentence to guide me through whatever challenges I have ahead. I call it “Monday’s Prayer” and Tweet it and put it on Facebook. As I ran on my run this morning, I thought of all I had to do this week and tried to process it into little digestible pieces so I wouldn’t have a heart attack from the stress of it all. Three miles into the run, I thought of this:
“Monday’s Prayer: Allow me to see problems as opportunities and opportunities as blessings.”
I felt the stress melt away — Because it’s all about attitude. If I can get my mind around the challenges in my life at 5:15 in the morning, then I’ll probably be alright the rest of the week. I’ll never succeed until I get my mind right.
P.S. I ended up running 4.69 miles in my neighborhood and the one next to mine. I increased my overall speed .2 mph — which makes me happy. I now have less than 20 pounds to lose to get to my goal. I’m over halfway there.
WAY TO GO, BOSS!!
You’ll be glad to know ‘Mr, Fab started Chantix over a week ago, and has gone from almost 3 packs (60) a day to maybe 6 cigarettes a day. I’ve been stretching out a pack to last a week since surgery, so hopefully. by picnic time, we will both be totally quit. I should have my arm strength too so I can throw the football again with HLG :)
