This Fall weather is simply breathtaking. It is actually hard to go to work, ignoring the facts of what glorious things I could be doing outside.
I drove along the lakeshore and whimpered at the lake, the colors and the fresh fall air.
Feeling sorry for myself as I tossed mail.
Until I had to make a delivery at a home.
The woman who came to the door was in the midst of cancer treatment, and told me so.
She spoke of her treatment, and how it appeared that 'it wouldn't get better'.
My petty anguish vanished.
Certainly, it would have been a delightful day to be on the water.
However, it is more incredible to be healthy.
She stayed with me.
She was smiling, and very accepting.
While I was fighting the mail delivery - instead of kayaking.
I learned there are often many places we would rather be, and even different lives.
I was so grateful to be me.
I settled into the mail.
Fairly sure I will kayak again.
Perhaps not today.
Today, I am grateful to be healthy, and to be so very lucky to be enjoying the fall weather, colors and smells.
I am going hiking with ladies shortly.
I sat in an outdoor cafe and worked on my art.
Life is good, it is incredible.
Today.
May I always remember that health is so very important, and when I get spunky about having to work instead of play, may I get reminders to bring me back in focus.
She rode with me today.
I held her in my heart.
Vowing to live more in this moment with my health.
My health has allowed me a ton of incredible memories. Just in this past summer alone, or even week.
First Health and the rest is all perfect.
