Perspective
When I was about to leave for work this morning, I was in a pretty good mood--I had a decent run (although I would have some discomfort walking around the rest of the day), and even had a few extra minutes to bike before I had to get in the shower. Then I checked my email and saw a note from my co-worker that the woman who had died in the tree-falling accident that I ran by on Saturday had been a close friend of hers. I talked to her about it later at work (she came in for a few hours) and it just reminded me how things can really change in an instant. I tried to remember that when I got down later in the day realizing that my knee was bothering me a bit.
At the gym tonight, one of the trainers who knows me mentioned that she had seen me "running or doing whatever it was I as doing" this morning. I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it but I wondered whether she thought I was walking because I was so slow? I think it was just a weird comment.
My grandfather in Boston had minor surgery today and everything went well. I was glad to hear the news. It put a positive spin on a strange day.

Becky you are doing fine. There quite possibly has been no one who has done as much as you for so little in return. Just keep going, and you will be fine. I don't know why, but I think things will turn for the better. It almost seems like they already are... just slowly, but that is the best way. Keep the hope, I have.
