Today’s inspiration comes from someone I have never spoken to only read. I will leave it at that. She says that our assets are also our defects. So true, because our healthiest habits can be our own undoing. I think of the spinning obsession I currently am driven by, because it has had the positive effect of my losing weight, lowering my blood pressure (100/70) and relieving my knee and lower back pain. All seemingly glorious facets of better health. However, the same can be held that I am neglecting my work, focused too much on writing that pays no stipend and is keeping me isolated in the gregarious lifestyle I exhibit to the world at large. Today was a great example, I was going to spin at the expense of being late at an interview with a firm that is determined to have my professional services, yet I was readily prepared to be late on a fallacious excuse that I was running late on a previous appointment.
It was indeed a close friend that said simply, not only did I not have to spin but that I couldn’t spin. Thank you for my reality check. I was erroneously hitching my wagon to a star that has not shown itself from behind the clouds yet. I know the brilliance is there but I am not going to clear the sky just so he can appear in the heavens.
