Lately, I've been thinking about my birthday. And even though it wasn't the most glamorous or festive of usual birthdays, I thought it was one of the best birthdays by far. Everything was simple but meaningful. At the stroke of midnight, I took my dog out for a walk. Nobody was outside and it felt like it was just Forza and I in the world. It was quiet, still and I was able to think with a clear head and imagine all the possibilities in my life.
Taking that back to today, my birthday gave me a glimpse of what can become of today and tomorrow with hard work, determination, humbleness, and gratefulness. With 2011 coming around the corner, I want to finish off this month with a bang. I took my birthday as a motivating factor to be stronger as a person at 27. Now with just three weeks left, I CANNOT let up now. Most people look to January as the time to start fresh and work on our goals. But for me, I wanna finish strong NOW so for 2011, I can come into the new year with more confidence (hopefully) and lean with a new swag, lol.
I have to say, work has been less stressful. I feel I've been able to get through work more and more without stressing out. Yes it's mostly good stress, but I know we can all due without most of it. Recently, I've learned about people in Ethiopia and how some of them have to walk miles just to get something to eat, go to school or barter goods. I personally can't imagine walking 20 miles just for something I can pick up locally with my car. But thinking about them and how I don't want to take things for granted really got my mind working and not complaining at work. "So and so yelled at me and is telling me this and that..." 'Ya??? Well, my son just walked 20 miles to get our family a few glasses of water in the sun. So I guess I can understand where you're coming from.' --- so ya, complaining doesn't seem so appetizing to me right now.
On another note, I've still been trying to eat healthier. I've definitely been inconsistent. My knee has been holding me back, which kinda got me down again leading to me eating bad mixes of consumable items. On the brighter side, I've decided to let medicine help me back with my recovery process. I don't want to work out just to get fitter without helping my knee out. It'll just backlash in the future. So today, I'm seeing my Orthopedist. What's the point of looking good for the sacrifice of a better knee? Nothing, cause a better knee will serve a better purpose in the future, like carrying my children and playing with them, or putting up our X-Mas tree. But anyway, wish me luck today!
