Are you proud of yourself? Of your accomplishments in your lifetime? Of how you make it through every day? We all did some things in our lives that maybe we weren't so proud of. But usually, in the course of a lifetime, we have so much more that we can be proud of.
Wellness is not about the destination, it is about the journey. We take small steps and sometimes we stumble. Marshall University is the home to the thundering herd. When my wife and I go out for a walk or a fund raiser we call ourselves the "stumbling herd". You have to be able to laugh at yourself or you are taking life much too seriously.
Often we fall. That doesn't matter. Success happens if we keep getting up. We can't look ahead and say we are never going to be thin, or we are never going to be fit. We have to celebrate what we have accomplished on our journey today. Did you take a walk around the office building or parking lot at break time? Did you pass up the office birthday cake? Be proud of yourself.
I had a few appointments today. I ran for about 20 minutes on the treadmill, but when I came home, the outside was just calling me. It was sunny and hot and I had to go to Nay Aug for a quick run to get some fresh air. It's nice to get out, even if you just take a short walk to the store. Don't buy the candy bar when you get there though. Buy an apple.
It is all about the daily journey.
