The last time I laced up I went for a 4 mile run. Today’s goal was a one mile walk. I tell myself the road to recovery is a marathon not a sprint. Doesn’t mean I like it 😂. The sun is out today. Get outside and feel it even if it’s only baby steps.

This wasn’t a road I was planning on taking but I’m grateful for the ability to walk it. I tell my kids that we can do hard things. You can too. There are injuries seen and unseen but I have a greater understanding for those who have endured trauma than I did before. Here’s to
“Scripture says, ‘rain falls on the just and the unjust.’ We’re going to have troubles and difficulties, but it’s how we respond to them that’s so important.”
