Realizations

June 4, 2012

I am sitting here, looking out the window at the sunny, breezy, warm street and some things are occurring to me.

I am stronger than I think. The morning after the Relay for Life, I still took the dog for his 1+ mile walk. Then went and tore down the campsite and drug it all home.

I have gotten away from my clean eating regime. Just because it is low in calories, doesn't make it good for me. As a matter of fact, it rarely does unless it is vegetation. So I am back to clean eating. I mean, I wasn't BAD bad, but I have been drifting further and further away from my "Food Nazi" stance.

I don't look as good as I think I do when I am looking good, nor do I look as bad as I think I do when I am not looking so good. I am not as fat as I think nor as thin as I think at different times. I am pretty normal, apparently.

I think it is good to examine ourselves from time to time. True, we may not be as wonderful as we think we are, but we are also rarely as bad as we think. We are, for the most part, somewhere in between. We are human, doing our best in most any given situation. And when we grow and learn, we can do better. Sometimes, part of the plan is waiting.
