Fire is an interesting thing. It can warm you up or even save your life in the right circumstances, or it can destroy. Today was a bit of a mixed bag for me so it seemed appropriate that I used a picture with some fire destroying a leaf (or is it just keeping it warm)?
I think that today could have just been one of those days if I had let my mind go there. I had a gasket blow in my hot water valve in the shower yesterday and I hadn’t had time to fix it before using it this morning. I know there are people who love cold showers; I am not one of them. And yet, that is how I began my day. Some days we let our negative thoughts get in our heads and they pursue us all day. Today was feeling like that. But I also had some good things. My car had an episode that I thought might leave me stranded but miraculously it recovered and I made it through the whole cycling class without having to stop or lower my intensity. To top it all off, I was able to fix the shower, so tomorrow morning will not be like a gatorade bath at the end of a football game.
I’m going to count today as a win. It wasn’t a rout, but I feel like I came out ahead.
