I am thankful
Being in the spirit, I found myself thinking of what I am thankful for.
There are the given things most people go straight for, family, friends, job, etc.
However, it is so much more.
Tomorrow (if you celebrate Thanksgiving that is..) as you sit around an table covered with an abundant amount of food, you are signifying your thanks. November 22nd is when you are supposed to step back, away from your daily activities and take a deep breath. Breath in all the wonders in your life, the beautiful people you have met, the family you were blessed with, the relationships you were given, the experiences you have cherished and exhale all your worries, all the demons you may have and be thankful.
I sometimes catch myself overwhelmed with worry about some little hurdle that portrayed itself as a mountain and I have to remind myself, Sawna... your worry wort- this is merely a small hurdle of life, an experience that will only make you stronger, BREATH.
There is one thing that I am truly thankful for, and I thank god everyday for it.
And that, my dear friends, is my wonderful family.
Each member of my family holds a special place in my heart.
They are my relatives, my blood, my brother, sisters; my best friends.
But most of all my parents. They are the glue that holds the five children together.
They are the roots to our family tree that is ever growing.
My mom, so amazing, just published her first book The Alchemy Of Food: From Soil to Soul . She works so hard in what she believes in and you bet us kids are her biggest fans.
My mom may not be adventures athletic wise, but she loves cooking new food, traveling the world and even joining me in the local dive bars in Thailand for a drink:)
My dad, well- you know my dad. I'm thankful to have shared some of my biggest accomplishments with him this year. Without his encouragement and support I would have never went diving. Diving as in scuba diving and sky diving, with him by my side. Everyday, I thank god to have him in my life and to share another cancer free holiday with him.
SO the reason for my post is to ask, have you thought of what your truly thankful for?
This morning I set out for a run, I asked myself- why am I thankful.
Because I was blessed with life.
I signed up with Team in Training, once again, for another season.
But this time I will be running 50 Kilometers (roughly 31 miles).
Why you ask?
No its not because I'm crazy, although that is a valid excuse.
I signed up because Its something I believe it, and I will be training with people that believe it the same thing.
Sound interesting?
