Thursday
OVERALL RATING
Itâs Thursday and a much needed day off. I felt the desire to go and run this morning. As I think back to years of stress and hurt I know I am in a better place today both physically and mentally. The journey I have been on wasnât without tears and pain but itâs all for a purpose of being stronger. Even through the years of storms I still had a deep joy. I didnât stop smiling. Even though I might have struggled through a day, week, month, year I wouldnât exchange the things it taught me that made me who I am today. I wish I could say I always responded with a good attitude or did the right thing but I didnât. But I didnât stay in the mud and rocks but chose to keep striving for that summit. All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
