On September 10, we learned that the 27 year old daughter of friends had passed away last Sunday from cancer. We only met her a few times when she was younger and they lived in the area, but it was still devastating news.
I had various thoughts over the course of the day. One was, fuck it, let's go to Baskin-Robbins for dinner. After all if someone that young and healthy can get cancer, I certainly can also. Another thought was to get on the treadmill and run until my legs gave out and not play it safe. By the time the morning came around I had backed off of that one. I did run 15 of the 35 minutes on the treadmill to cover 2.57 miles. It may not seem like much but it was to me. Another thought was maybe I should write a blog and let out my thoughts. I wasn't sure about that one but here we are.
This morning my thoughts were about taking my time in the present moment. Not worrying if I had enough time to lift weights at the gym. Not concerned about the wait at Starbucks.
