None of you will take this advice

 Listen to your body's whispers before they become screams.

(ex. update,  walk 0.6 miles, ytd walk 342.1 miles, pm slow jog 1.6 miles, ytd run 776.4 miles.  Trying to listen to my body more and heal)

Some people are never going to clap for you. Win anyway.

 (daily ex. update, walk 2.2 miles over 2 walks, ytd walk 341.5 miles.  pm tm run 4.5 miles, ytd run 774.8 miles.  Still injured but trying to exercise anyway)

“the Chinese proverb says, when sleeping women wake, mountains move.”

 and oh, how they love the woman who won't take any shit from anyone, until they realize that she won't take any shit from them, either.

(daily ex. update, 2 walks = 2.1 miles,  2 tm jogs = 5 miles,  hip and back still painful but I need to get back into this.   ytd walk 339.3 miles, ytd run 770.3 miles)

 Today won’t be a great day.

It wont be a bad day either.

Today will just be a ‘day’.

24 hours of absolutely everything.

Moments of joy, fear, uncertainty, pride, love.

Flashes of loss, happiness, connection and loneliness.

Moments swathed in every colour of the spectrum of emotion and humanity

Moment by moment.

Wrapped in hours, that make up one day.

JUST A DAY.

You’ve lived through plenty and you’ll live through many more.

So.

Do not entitle this 24 hour parcel as anything other than what it is…

A slice of life.

Go live it.

Moment by moment.

And be ready for them all.

Donna Ashworth

“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” – John F. Kennedy
