I HAVE STARTED
If you recall, in my last blog I had mentioned that I had bought walking shoes. I had been wanting to walk as a form of exercise for a long time, but my “tushy” was just too lazy to get up. In fact I found more excuses not to. Then, when I saw people older than I competing a 13.2 mile marathon, that put me over the top.. So, I am now proud to announce that I have started my walking regiment and I LIKE it…go figure! Something I had been dreading turned out to be fun.
Isn’t it like that in life at times, you dread going somewhere, then you realize it was fun after all. Or, you don’t want to try a new food, in fact you made up your mind you hated it, and then to your surprise it has become your favorite. That happened to me with fish.
I believe this is how we rob ourselves of the joys in life by making snap decisions based purely on thoughts rather than actions. I wonder how much I have missed by not allowing my self to plunge into unknown territory. although, in my defence I have become bolder in my old age.
So my dear friends, my wish for you is.. If there has been something you have always wanted to do, but feared failure. Or perhaps had no interest in because because it seemed too distant to achieve.. I say ” give it a whirl” what have you got to lose? you may just be surprised and like it..
