The miles of the journey in life, to include the discipline of endurance sports, and the struggles to live out my faith, have often provoked and provided spiritual and inspirational revelations, as well as a heighened awarenesss and appreciation for my many blessings. This work is my attempt to share those miles in hopes others might be blessed as well. https://booklocker.com/books/12152.html

Try-Just One More Day
Very close to pulling the plug on my ironman event. There is so much wrong going on in my body I don't even take inventory of it anymore. And, in tired times, the wrongs overrun the spirit. Why do this?
Then there are days like this after a good night of sleep, good food yesterday, and an awesomely beautiful, practically windless day. And the humbled spirit raises its bloodied head to catch the sunbeams of hope; a deep breath, a small smile: just one more day.
I don't have to do the ironman event. That is a couple months off. But, I just have to do justice to this one wonderful day; give more breath to this great feeling inside me. Try - just one more day. One more day: Bless me Lord in it.

One wonderful day at a time...who knows if you'll make the goal, but you can enjoy the journey! Hang in there Marv :)
ReplyDeleteYes, try your best to stay with it. You can not have any regrets if you give 100%. Either way, I am proud.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Marvin. You know that it is such a mental game. It is amazing what you can accomplish physically when you stay mentally positive. You and I know what it took mentally to run that first marathon. You can do it.
