walkin' fast....

i usually jump rope before walking and
am nice and warm when i start out on my walk.
not today. i went from directly sitting by
the fire, to the great outdoors.

brrrrrr...

and it wasn't even that cold today!!

so i told myself 'walk fast! you'll warm up.'

and i did.

i walked fast. tilted my head down just a tad
and really got moving.

it felt good. and sure enough, wasn't long before
i was plenty warm.

thought about life.

what if you wake up sad? or something that doesn't
feel real great....like startin' the walk cold.

well.....get moving.
focus.
aim towards something else.

warm yourself up.

i can do that.
i know i can.

cause i've learned a little trick.....

if i'm sad......i can go focus and do some other things.
i can perk up. all the while, i'll allow the sadness in
there too. i'll save a spot for it.

somehow....the allowing it helps.
it can be there. it's honoring it somehow.
and i think sadness needs to be honored.

and i can still go laugh somewhere else.

i can still walk fast, warm up, and laugh.

there's always time to cry....there's not enough
time to laugh!!!
