When I write, I am very progress minded, and this is a lot of what fitness is about. Improving so that you get faster, stronger etc. However, there comes a point where you need to reflect on what you have gained and where you are. If you don't it will only lead to discontentment.
Today is Thanksgiving, so what better time to take pause and be thankful for whatever you have to be thankful for in life and in the theme of this blog here are a few things that I am thankful for...
...a healthy body to run, bike, swim, yoga (I don't know if I can use that as a verb), jump, row, and just plain play.
...my lovely wife who supports my crazy endeavors and family who backs me up.
...the privilege of being in medical school where I can learn all about the human body and how it works.
...friends and riding partners who like to do some of the same crazy stuff that I do
...Hey Cow
...A beautiful world to explore in so many different ways
...A safe place to live and sometimes to rest and recover when I need to
...Good food to eat and fuel my adventures
...A trusty steed to take me wherever my little heart desires
God has blessed me with all of these things and it just wouldn't make sense not to be grateful for them. I hope you take the time to stop and reflect on the good things in your life from time to time and not just when we have a holiday designed for it. Happy Thanksgiving!
