September 21, 2007

This morning was the hardest I've had getting up. I think it's because it is starting to get dark earlier and so it doesn't really feel like I should be up that early. I can tell though, that this is going to be a challenge to continue with day after day. My jog this morning was good though. I feel like I have way more energy than I did a few days ago when I first went jogging.

I read an article in Reader's Digest the other day about the power of gratitude. It said that people that find things to be thankful for every day are happier, get better sleep, and are more friendly. With that in mind I decided to use my jogging time to come up with things that I am truly thankful for, like living in a town that I feel safe going anywhere, anytime in. I have already begun using the jogging time as a time for personal prayer so I'm glad I am gaining stamina so that I can jog long enough to pray and be grateful.
