I think when we struggle to reach our goals, we appreciate the achievement that much more. Again I am going through a rough patch. Today a slight pain in my knee set in. I know I must listen to my body. I must resist the urge to push through the pain. I don’t want to risk ruining everything we’ve been building. So tomorrow I will confine myself to walking. It will be tough and I will want to run because it’s what I’ve come to know. It is what I do day in and day out. But we still have a way to go and I must finish what I’ve started. I know that when I reach the end all the pain will fade.
.I never knew Missouri was so nice. I guess when you live in the big city you don’t realize there is life in other parts of America. Many people plan their vacations overseas and they want to see the world. I think that is fantastic. But, I’m finding that it’s pretty fantastic right here in our back yard as well. There is so much to discover and explore here in America. I’m sure there are plenty of people in Europe that would find a trip through the states pretty awesome. In some senses I’m kind of like the shepard boy in one of my favorite books. The Alchemist is a light fable where the protagonist goes out into the world to find his fortune. He has a dream and the world conspires to make it reality. In the process he follows the signs on his journey. In the end he discovers the fortune has been with him the entire time
