Turning A New Way Today

I am drinking a glass of Emergen-C effervescence of Acai berry flavor while my rhubarb raisin spiced oatmeal cools down enough to eat it. My walk today started at 7:00 a.m. Which is on plan, with the time change over the weekend it should have been much lighter but something is holding the humidity down so it is cloudy and foggy. It is a gray morning at the lake. The birds are paying no attention to the time change. They were out and active with their families swimming, fishing, bathing and posturing for power positions in their social circles.

I took Sunday off and did not walk yesterday. I am caring for my knee that is demanding a good deal of my attention. I have been practicing focused thought to change my experience. Visualizing myself healthy and enjoying my physical body while interacting with my world. It worked quite well and for the majority of Sunday my knee was back to its wonderful flexible self.

Today I arose at 4:00 a.m. (the old 5:00 a.m.) and ran through a set of Pilates to add to my power and preparation. At the lake, I was dressed for the cloudy misty weather and launched into my 1-mile lap. People were happy and friendly. I learned a new name and greeted many familiar faces. My knee caught my attention and by the end of my walk, I was favoring it and feeling discomfort.

I release myself from walking until my knee heals. I am flexible and open to change and accept that this adjustment is the best thing I can do for my abundant future. I forgive myself and understand I may have moved too rapidly in my exercise program. I feel compassion and love for my knee and for myself. I see new and better experiences going forward.

This new direction is exciting and I look forward to what will develop. I am on the cutting edge living my life deliberately and loving the experience. My spiced, fruit-filled, warm oatmeal with honey and butter is a manifestation of my thoughts of abundance.
