Slow and Low

My disposition is to go faster and not stop. I've been this way as long as I can remember. The last several months have been a challenge to this. An injury in Feb that caused me to stop running for a month was followed by an illness that has now stretched into four weeks. As I was feeling healthy enough to start running again I had a fluke accident that broke a toe. Again, no running. I believe in God and I believe he has a sense of humor in my life. I also believe that when a lesson isn't being learned, circumstances will console to teach it as many times as it takes. Whether I'm being given things to force me to slow down or there is something less obvious like patience, I hope I'm getting the lesson. I know I'm along for the ride in this life and can at best aspire to doing what I can at any given moment. I'm restless and more than a little tired of not feeling healthy, but I am grateful still. It's not a competition, but I know people I care about are battling much more serious issues and in some cases for their lives. I just hope to be ever mindful of what I have rather than what is not as I wish it to be.
