Almost two weeks ago I injured my foot. I was running laps around the outside of the house with my daughter when I landed badly on the side of my foot. I finally saw a doctor a couple of days ago, and it’s not broken. However, I haven’t been able to run for two weeks, and I’m only just starting to get over limping like Quasimodo everywhere. I rely on running not just for physical fitness but also for my mental well-being. Exercise is a very effective counter to depression, so not getting my usual dose has really put me in a funk.<\/p>\n
When I saw the doctor for my foot, I think I picked up a bug in the waiting room. Yesterday I developed a sore throat, and I have an occasional low grade fever along with it. No sneezing or other symptoms, so I don’t think it’s the flu, but it has knocked me down. Add to that the usual stresses of life and I have not been in a good mental place.<\/p>\n
But darned if this video didn’t make me smile. It’s a nice reminder that this is an amazing universe we live in, and an amazing time to be alive. No matter what else is going on, I am grateful to be here.<\/p>\n
