Greetings from Missoula, as I return to work after a three-day period of rest. Today, I’m embarking on a fasting day, part of my plan to shed the healing weight gained during my ankle recovery. It’s likely to make me a bit cranky – a contrast from yesterday’s energy. Today I’m slow, yesterday I was fast.
It’s like reaching the top of a climb only to descend again. Now, I’m beginning the ascent once more. But it’s the journey that’s the most fulfilling, right? Yes!
However, today also brings sadness. Last night, I learned of the passing of a member of my “personal” family. This person held a special place in my life, commanding great respect. My best friend, deeply affected by this loss, is dealing with it while I’m not there to offer support.
It’s times like these that remind us to cherish the journey. Achievements are fleeting, but the journey is constant. It’s important not to waste it. This is what we often learn in moments of loss and reflection. Enjoy the journey, always.
