Today was a good day despite a couple different kinds of stress making its way through me. Leaning on support during stressful times makes a monumental difference. I didn't necessarily feel my resolve threatened at any point, but I've learned it's best to engage support before it gets to that point. I sent a couple of text messages, enjoyed a brief phone chat, took some personal moments in spiritual meditation, participated in an amazing support group conference call, read a couple of my favorite bloggers and I made sure to keep my disciplines close and tight. My awareness level was on high alert. It worked. I'm here. And I'm feeling great.
Today was pineapple day. I cut up a pineapple and enjoyed it a few different times. It was a perfect pineapple. It's all over the live-tweets below.
I almost passed on my workout tonight. I'm glad I didn't. I needed the bio-chemical benefits of a great workout. I've never regretted a good workout. Even if I'm not feeling it at all--not a tiny bit, still-- I walk away happy I followed through. It never fails.
