During my run, I had an A-HA moment. I will be 41 very soon. Today is the 3 month anniversary of quitting smoking. After all of the abuse that I have done to my body, it is still so very strong! To think that in a 2 month period I trained and FINISHED a triathlon...at 40 years old. It amazes me that God has created something that heals itself...that corrects errors. Basically, that is forgiving. Don't you wish the human race was like that?
I recently had a physical with complete blood work. The news is not good...high cholesterol (good stuff is low, bad stuff is high) and high blood sugar. I am going back to the doctor on Friday to hear what she wants to do about this. I would love not to have to take medicine to correct the problem. I would love to say that I will correct it by changing my eating habits. I mean, I quit smoking...cold turkey (and with the help of God). That's where the A-HA moment comes from. For the first time, I realized that I am strong. God has blessed me with strength, forgiveness, a strong will, determination, and resilience. Those are the blessing that God has given to ME. Now, it's my choice to stop abusing what He has created!
