Faith, my daughter is 4 years old. At her school's Christmas program the kids sang Seasons of Life - the theme song from the musical "Rent". The song eloquently asks, how will you spend the 525,600 minutes contained in a year? Actually, the older kids sang and the little ones danced. Twirling in all her glory is what Faith does best! Although she's a pro at throwing a good temper tantrum too!
2013 was survival mode for me. Faith was 3 years old and tantrums were plentiful. The "trying" 3s left me exhausted, overweight, and glancing whimsically at how the terrible 2s, were not so terrible after-all. Despite mommy meltdowns, yes I admit, I had more than a few, Faith loved me...for 525,600 minutes in 2013!
What was 2013 like for you? Did you do good just to survive like me, or did you thrive? Maybe it was a combination of the two.
The question is, in 2014, how will you use YOUR 525,600 minutes?
How many of them will you devote to improving your health...spirit-mind-body?
With God's help, I've hit the re-set button and re-committed to Christian fitness. The journey back has been like trudging through the snow in flip-flops. But God is faithful, and I'm grateful.
As I write this blog I'm at the gym and Faith is playing "happily"in the kid's area - a monumental feat! In 2013 my name was called so often over the gym intercom to pick-up my crying child, I stopped going. What a difference a year makes!
Are you ready to hit the re-set buttom and make your health a priority?
When 2015 rolls around, I pray we'll be able to joyously say " what a difference a year makes...!"
Happy New Year
