today: 10 miles
total to date: 36 miles
I had to struggle against resistance in the morning, but decided that I could walk 0.6 miles. When I reached the 0.3 miles, instead of turning back I decided to continue and walked 2 miles. In the afternoon I went out for a walk and did 4 miles. I was quite pleased with a total 6 miles. But in the evening I challenged myself to go additional 1 mile. It has been raining but the rain had stopped and it was a nice evening. After walking for a mile I had a thought. What if I continued and made 3 more miles, that would total it up to 10 miles. I had never walked so long in my life. Well, let it rip, I said to myself and continued. I'm home now and feeling great.
I have a similar resistance and have been fighting it every day. Belonging to this group helps a lot and so does seeing that you make it out every day Alex, thank you.0 -

Today: 6.5 miles.
Total to date; 42.5 miles.
Couple of weeks ago I had to travel and a friend promised to take care of our cat while we were away. I took the cat to his apartment and said:
"Our cat is much smarter than he looks. I just want you to be aware of it."
"He is like me", he answered, "but I don't want to brag about it."
I assured him that his secret was well hidden.
He then told me that he was not so well treated in the company he worked and that people didn't see his real potential. It was very sad he said. He started to tell me about his life, how he didn't get the support he needed in his first employment, and that it damaged his self confidence, which was very sad. He continued and talked about the government who doesn't do enough for single people like him, and that was also very sad.
"I have had more than my share of bad luck", he said with a sigh.
"How do you know it was bad luck", I asked.
"What do you mean".
"Well, if you broke a leg. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?", I asked.
"A bad thing, of course", he said.
Then I told him of an old Chinese story.
"You see", I said to my friend, "you never know. What you thought was a bad luck, might turn into something good."An old farmer had a single horse. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically.
"Maybe, maybe" the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed.
"Maybe, maybe" replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. "Maybe, maybe" answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "Maybe, maybe" said the farmer.
"I see", he said, "but when something happens to you, how you can tell if it will turn out to be good or bad."
"Ah, that is the secret of happiness", I replied.
"Tell me about it", he urged.
And so I did. And I will tell you as well, if you would like to hear.0 -

alex, thank you for sharing the story! I've not heard that particular one before. It does give one pause after reading it. So very true though! Later on, events and circumstances of life are not always what they seemed to be when we are in the middle of them.
