Random Writings and Thoughts

My inspiration.
For running, not beard growth.
although at my age that beard may be possible.


 
December 
and I have been dreaming...
dreaming of running.
I'm running and 
I can breathe and 
I don't struggle and 
I remember what it is like ....
to feel...
 my strong legs again
my strong core 
the feeling of power in myself.

But ....it was just a dream. 

Two nights in a row I dreamt about it.
Two nights...

I decided to stop feeling sorry and at least try something. 
So, a measly mile, or so, a few times a week. 
Hey, it's better than nothing....
Although, my brain doesn't think it's better than nothing.
I laugh at the old pictures of me
me...
So strong in body, yet...
weak, so weak, in heart 
The stronger I became physically
the weaker I actually became in my ability to live my best life.

Now,
Happy and not as physically strong
but I have gained 
Me...
me
mine
My voice and true opinions
and it's ok.
The people I have surrounded myself with
love and I believe, 
respect me and my opinions.

Still forever thankful for the person who continued to tell me I was beautiful.
I was stronger than I knew
and for the people who stuck by me.
the ones I don't need to see every day
to know that they are there and 
I am here.

What a great life it is becoming
it really is.
now off for my run.

xo,
