Keep going

In the next two months I will have a performance to get ready for. The great thing is that I am well on my way to being ready. Only because I have been walking, been taking my belly dance classes all along.

No one can just jump up and run a marathon. While it can seem pointless at times and we all get blue, if we stick to our routines we can reach our goals. If I didn't have my dogs and they didn't need to be walked I wouldn't have my motivation to get going. When they are walked and happy the house is quite and I can do my writing.

Keeping up my walking has helped me feel better about myself when things have seemed like they are crashing in on me. Having to see the shop I worked at close down due to the economy made me feel blue as well. All this doesn't help you feel like getting out there.

Now that I have a new goal and I have been walking and dancing I know I will look good for the performance. With out my routine where would I be? In bed with a bottle of wine feeling sorry for myself? I have to add another piece of the puzzle, I do pray. Others don't and I respect that, for me as I walk my dogs I take time to thank God for all the good things I have. It helps to keep my attitude positive.

So even if you don't pray, if you get out and do some sort of exercise, you will feel better. And don't we need that to keep going?
