Blessing

A body in movement is a true blessing. One that has been given to me, along with health, strength and wellness. It's not always been the case though... Not to long ago, my habits and self punishing binges clouded that gift. It affected every thing in my life. Personal appearance, difficult relationships, anxiety, depression and health troubles after troubles. Now that I have gained back control, I see that blessing of health as a gift to cherish. Weight is a number, it a great indicator but still a number.... Health is power, it's freedom!!! In this lifetime I am limited only by myself. One day in a Spinning class my quads along with my lungs were burning during a particularly "steep" climb ;) And I remember looking around the room...a few fools were smiling while climbing, I attributed it to insanity, others obviously had poor hearing and missed a couple turns on the dial... But the majority were working and I wondered if they felt the same pain as I did. I wondered if that was the difference between "them" and me. My tolerance?...Maybe...Today, I am so glad that I chose to stick with it. I still feel the burn, as it turns out it never goes away but with time I learned to kind of like it. Thank you for joining me as I share my story and the story of all those who inspire me daily.
