Reflection

I was in a workshop today where we talked about reflection, so I might as well do a little.  Looking back to a year and a half ago, I see a time just before I found out that my mother-in-law had a brain tumor.  We would lose her within three months.  A time before I would lose my own father just a little more than one year later.  A time before one of my sons would almost die.  I am worn down by all these things, and yet I can't quite abide my own idea to walk and take life in.  Perhaps that's just not who I am or what I'm ready for.  Instead, my Less is More blog reflects more of who I am.  Gung ho, then falling behind, but trying to give it as much as I can. Walking, running, P90, kick boxing, yoga, biking, hiking, climbing.  I've done all this over the last year and half and I hope and expect to do more.  Perhaps I'll come back to Walking Not Running at some point (I had to just after I sprained my ankle twice this summer!), but for now, it will stand as a moment in time, perhaps at some point to be revived.
