I signed up for the Captain's Test this morning. After receiving the cd of study materials I dropped it off at Kinko's to get everything printed and ready to review-over and over again. While the Kinkos crew was printing, Chris and I set off for a quick mountain bike ride in forest park. I bought a brand new Titus Racerx last week and had yet to give her a try! Since Chester and I are packing up on Sunday for our 24 hour race in AZ I thought it prudent to at least get some dirt on.
The last two weeks have been tough. I've been working through some pretty rough patches. I sense there is more to come. Without indulging myself in the drama and emotion of it all too much, I am hoping I can feel what I feel and move on without too many steps back. Right now I need to focus, study, and at the same time enjoy life balancing fun and relaxation with work.
My Himalayan Apple Spice Tea Bag says, "Grace brings trust, appreciation, love and prosperity." Ronda and I have had a few conversations about Grace. For a while this summer I wore a bracelet reminding me to treat others with grace. The quote is a timely reminder for me. I will continue to always try and treat others with grace. But right now especially I need to allow, accept, and give myself grace. It's so difficult to be in such an uncomfortable state and just be in it. Instead I find myself agonizing over why I can't get through it....faster, now! Have you ever tried to meditate? I could never get past being so tight and uncomfortable just sitting in the position! That's how this feels now. Only no matter how I sit I still feel this way. Looks like I'm going to learn how to meditate from the inside out.
Count me in, I got this. ;)
