Me Time!

Me Time: No Spa Package Required!

Today I'm keeping it short and sweet.  First off, I am exhausted from yesterday's workout with fitness buddy #2.  We dug in and left our hearts and other organs on the gym floor!  Tonight, fitness buddy #1 couldn't make it, so I had the rare opportunity to channel my focus inward.  Let me just say that it was one of the best workouts I've had in a long time.

I pumped up my inspirational playlist, closed my eyes, and meditated on the words, thought about my accomplishments over the month, and imagined how I'd look in my dream dress.  I didn't think of how stressful my day had been because, to be honest, I really managed it well.  Nothing but good energy coming in and going out.  I won't settle for anything else.

I realized that this was my version of "Me Time".  I was taking time at the end of a hard day to give something back to myself.  Every step I take in this journey is a small gift towards the bigger gift of great health and a long life.  I got to this point by myself and I will have to be the one to bring myself out.  The joy I have is in knowing that for the first time in a long time, I am actually living my life on purpose and with purpose.  There's no greater gift than that.
