Woah.. It has been a couple crazy days. Somedays seem longer than others and others just seem super short. Life just keeps moving and keeps getting extremely harder and harder. Lately as you have seen in recent postings, I have been training for a half marathon. Well on Monday I ran from my house to the Hollywood Recreation Center. Which is about 5.6 miles. I would of never thought that I could run that, but training really does get you ready for anything. Then I skipped Tuesday and I ran on Wednesday, I got up before the sun (4:30) and ran 6.56 miles. That's almost 7 mi of hills and blisters and rashes. Yeah, you may think that you can never do it but once you hit the last couple you can just run for days. Some days are easier than others. You have to start somewhere whether its just a run around the block or up a hill, its something and something is better than nothing. Eating healthy helps as well! When you eat healthy and choose wisely its easier for your body to run.
As you get older I believe that somethings get harder. Some people have bills to pay. Some spend it on clothes, but having a budget makes you feel better about yourself. When you do it makes things less stressful, less miserable to live. I hate seeing people struggle. When I do see people struggle, all I want is to help them. Yesterday, I had the opportunity of going with my grandma to help take care of one of her family members. She lives in a memory care facility. She suffers from somewhat of an Alzheimer's disease. Seeing her go through that of which she doesn't recall any memory of the present and her asking every few minutes who you are really changes a person. Makes you want to have the best memories so you can remember the good times. She even knows she lives with it and she hates it. Seeing the other members in the facility whose stories are just horrendous, one of the ladies lived in Oregon and her sister said let's take a road trip. She said alright, and they headed down the coast and ended up in Las Vegas, where she now resides, she doesn't get any family visitors, and she remembers that of which her sister did to her. She basically left her there to care for herself, no love, no care. It shows just how much you should love your family even when you hate them! Sometimes our Heavenly Father puts us in rough places for us to go through, but getting through them, those are the best accomplishments. I was so surprised and glad I had the awesome experience of going with her and spending the day and learning of the past the she remembered and how in love she was with her husband. I can't wait for the day I am able to marry in the House of the Lord. That will be the best memory, other than the day I have kids.
