Saturday was a day that I recalled muscle memory from the past .. and you can count on that being a miracle on several counts for me. I ran today. I ran today for the first time in several months. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Seems like more should be sore, and yet muscles have a memory too. They recalled what it feels like to be pushed .. and to respond. And for that I'm very grateful. I ran three miles that were easier than I thought.
And I look forward to continuing to pursue these miles. I also have a memory of what it feels like to be running regularly. It feels healthy - sleeping better, physically feeling better. And that memory is something I want to make a reality so that it becomes more than a memory.
Which is the entire reason for starting this blog - accountability for me to run regularly and regain my health. It has turned into so much more. A miracle of sorts. It's allowed me to build a muscle for my writing .. and how to communicate thoughts that reflect what I'm feeling, not just what I think should be said. I completely enjoyed the November challenge of writing on a particular subject each day. I parlayed that into December and the documenting of a miracle each day. And what a great experience this has been … and to consider they didn't happen because I looked for them. They happened and I made sure I recognized them. That has been the absolutely amazing part!
All of these muscle memories being tested at the same time. Wow - physical, emotional, intellectual growing and adapting. The changes over such a short amount of time are overwhelming .. and they continue to happen. That too is miraculous!
Now how do I find a way to continue to write in January with fresh new ideas and continue the miracle theme as well?
