This is my blog but I want to share a success of a total stranger, Ruth. Ruth is at the gym every morning. She usually walks the perimeter of the gym with the help of crutches. Ruth is a heavy woman and you can see the difficulty she has walking. The pain hasn't stopped her from morning walks.
I was on the elliptical doing my own workout and Ruth walked by me. I said good morning and asked how she was doing today. She said her legs were really sore but she was going to finish her walk. I noticed she didn't have her crutches! After watching her walk all these weeks I was so proud of Ruth. I asked if she would like me to finish the walk with her, she said yes. We made small talk and she later thanked me for the distraction.
Ruth is 43 yrs old, had two knee replacements, on medication, suffering with arthritis and not giving up. I got back the elliptical, said a prayer for Ruth and said thanks for my good health. I'm not sure what the cosmic message is but the accomplishment Ruth made today has left me feeling so greatful....maybe that's it.
Enjoy the day!
