Life can get so "serious" sometimes and I find myself chomping at the bit to ease the anxiety, figure out my path, and have purpose when the future gets hazy. When the illusion of control and certainty are no where in sight, I start to scramble a little. Hence, my last post.
And then, a mini bike crash (I'm fine), followed by a rainy early morning 10K full of people in Santa suits with jingle bells on their shoes can snap some wonderful fun and sense back into me (or you). Chilly, damp smiles as you eat post-race bananas with friends, and a hot shower are a great reminder of how lucky I am to have my health, crazy/awesome running community, and competitive drive - all of which make my life fuller and richer.
Of course there are other ways to dissipate the feisty angst when you can't find people with antlers on to run in the streets with - i.e. some beers with other equally floundering and uncertain friends who are smart, motivated, and remind you that it's okay to feel insane sometimes - because we all do.
When you itch to motivate change, to make your mark, and to feel inspired about your day-to-day, anything mundane (or what you perceive to be) overly predictable, or just dull can drive you mad. However, I'd rather hang out with the other crazy, hyper kids than be surrounded by complacency and people with blinders on.
So, that said, let's add more spice and fun to our lives as well as appreciation for all the mini blessings and random highlights that are so easy to take for granted when routines and autopilot suck up your mojo.
And patience with ourselves in all our pursuits...
Right.
That too : )
Happy Sunday,
Chloe
