Being More Like Pollyanna

Enjoying life during the journey does not come naturally to me. Life stresses are dominating. Paying the bills, and figuring out what's for supper .... again; the long list of mundane life moments clouds my ability to see how special life is sometimes. So, I wil continue to remind myself to enjoy the present. Next time, rather than flipping the bird when I get cut off in traffic, I'll be more like Pollyanna and play the "glad game"!

When You Are Ready

Today I swam my first 1 KM swim since ... well, it's been a long, long time. It felt amazing! I wanted to get back to my swim routine for months but I didn't at the same time.  Trying to add swimming back into my life seemed like an awful chore. I felt like I "HAD" to get back to my swim routine. There was no joy in returning to the pool. Why didn't I feel "the joy"?
At the time, I didn't understand that I just wasn't ready. I still needed to work out personal barriers to my joy.
Then over the weekend, I was having a conversation with my husband when it hit me hard. My body was craving to get back to the pool. I WANTED TO GET BACK TO THE POOL!!!! I am ready to get up out of bed Monday morning, jump into the pool before breakfast and get a Kilometer of swimming in before work.
AND I DID IT!
Thank you to all the patient and understanding friends that helped me face those personal barriers. Thank you to my patient and understanding co-workers for enduring my new eau de piscine.

    Rather than experience this aging crisis alone ... I am inviting you to join in on the fun! I am on my way to 50 years of age. As I journey towards that 50th birthday, I will share my daily thoughts, triumphs, and disappointments. Don't worry it is not going to be all that good or polished - just honest, raw, and perhaps a bit of a train wreck.
    Why share? Good question! In case there is someone out there also struggling with aging and would enjoy a laugh and connection. I assure you there will be no preaching. You will most likely not gain any useful tips - mmmm, maybe on what NOT TO DO.
    Enjoy
