Gratitude for “running”

Author: Janet

Life Design - My Journey to Higher GroundI pulled my left hamstring last year; it has taken a very long time to heal!  I finally got tired of waiting and decided, this morning, it was time to run again.  I told Jeff, my trainer, and he agreed.  After a great work-out that included some running on the treadmill, we agreed that running would be O.K  After I left, I decided to run home.  (It is only a 1/2 mile.)  On the way, something caught the corner of my eye.  It was a mama deer and her baby deer; they were running along side of me!  I stopped to look at them.  They stopped to look at me.  In that instant, I could feel them saying, “Come on, Janet-RUN.  You can do it!  …And off they went into the woods…and off I went on my run home!  Thank you, mama and baby deer, for your encouraging “words.”  I am grateful.  I am Blest!
