~:[CH9 - Day 114]:~ Appreciation
It was easy to complain when you were sitting outside in 90 degree temperatures. Today was one of those hot days and sans Covid-19, I would have been baking under the sun at a track meet today. However, you can complain when you're in the midst of something like that, but when you look back on it, you can appreciate the fact that you had the opportunity. While I kept busy today, today was one of those days where I missed what we had lost these past few weeks, which soon will be months. Sadly, all the energy spent on setting up meets, going to practices and baking under that sun, are things that I miss, as along with those things came the excitement of competition, the joys of success, and the routine, yet special daily interactions. I'm sure we will all grow a little more appreciation for those things that seem tedious, exhausting or routine, as while it never was a though, living without it is something that we see could become a reality. More than ever, we can understand that life isn't predictable and there is no guarantee for tomorrow, so make the most of each and every day that you have, even when you're stuck indoors, there are still things to appreciate and to celebrate.
I appreciate you too Jason Watanabe
ReplyDeleteIt's true. Training under brutal heat whether during a race/practice was anything but fun yet looking back, I'm glad we did run because it made us very strong mentally. Now when it's very hot and I'm trying to think of an excuse to not run I remember I've done this already many times harder or just as hot and more than this. "How's the weather? Just right!!"
