Since I wrote a blog last year saying that I walked 4 miles on my 4 year anniversary, I felt it only made sense to do 5 miles today! You see, when I first quit 5 years ago, I could barely walk 1 mile! You know how I did it and increased it - by thinking of the many people here who couldn't do it. I walked for them! Somehow that helped! I felt better and better as time passed! Now I continue to walk because it feels so good to feel strong again!
Although 5 years may sound like a long time to many here, I still recall thinking - how will I do 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months??? But, by sticking close here and listening to SO MANY very wise people here, I kept moving forward! And, you know what - many of those very wise people are still here paving the way! Thank you to all of those wonderful elders!! (I won't name names for fear of leaving someone out.) And, as I always say, thank you to those coming behind me for always reminding me of the beauty and the glory in the quit!
Love you all!
