Thought for the day

God gave us the gift of Life. It is up to us to give ourselves the gift of Living Well.
--Voltaire

It is amazing to think of all the wonderful things God has provided for us so that we can enjoy this life. Why can't we make better choices so that we can enjoy His gifts? My goal for the rest of September is to try and make the choices necessary for me to fully enjoy the blessings of Heaven.

What does Living Well mean to you? What choices do you need to make in order to do so.

My living well includes calming the spirit of contention in my home between the children and myself. I've noticed that when I get out to run on a regular basis, my spirit is calmer and I deal better with the bickering between my children. I can stay calm and help soothe them more effectively. This week I only ran on Monday and I have become more irritable as the week has worn on. Do you think there is a correlation? I do.

I've also notice that I have been eating heavier foods that are making my body feel tired. So, I will make the choice and the sacrifices (sleep, time cooking) needed in order to get out and run and eat better foods for my body so that I can give myself the gift of living well.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow on your first half
FLORI and KIM!
I wish I was running with you.
