My boyfriend (ex now) broke up with me earlier this past week. I still am in the processing phase and possibly the Serenity Prayer phase.
Folks, life is not easy and, for some, that is an understatement.
But do our lives stop when difficult things happen?
No, not at all.
In fact, life starts a new phase every time we overcome something or deal with it in a healthy manner.
Every day we live, we make choices about our reactions. It's almost as if we have a new life or a new start every morning. You can be stuck in the pain or you can climb out of the pit.
Me, I get up and start running every morning because 6 years ago I fractured vertebrae in my back and the doctors said I was lucky to survive and lucky not to have a spinal cord injury.
Running is a constant reminder for me of how blessed I am to still be alive, even though I am processing a hard breakup as well as trying to figure out a dire situation with my insurance.
Even on the most futile days of my life, I love life.
