Walking Isn't for Woosies

Well, my cold only turned worse after Saturday.  I really despise getting sick because it tends to mess things up.  It makes things mah fan.

So being sick made me skip out on my coworker's baby shower, a day of work, and my Chinese class.  My running schedule is also affected because I couldn't get one of my weekly runs in yesterday.  This from a girl who's never skipped a day of school for being sick (that may make some of you else out there sick).   Somehow I always manage to tough out my illnesses.

I feel God telling me that I don't have to be so brave all the time.  I'd save the world superhero style if I could.  But wait a minute--God's already done that!  God is, despite my stubborness, my greatest Help.  I feel badly for zooming through life on turbo speed without much consideration as to my ultimate Sustainer.  That's how I feel my life has been lately.

So I took a thirty minute walk today instead of a run.  And a walker's pace ain't half bad.  I definitely had time to smell the roses (well, at least stare at the flowers) more, anyways.  There's a clearer sense of reality by taking the time to enjoy.  And we all need a good reminder now and then.
