I was DISAPPOINTED :( My next thoughts turned to The Weekend To End Breast Cancer that I have participated in for three years, this is my fourth. It is coming up June 6-8. Could I walk it? Would I be able to with the lack of training?? Would I do more long-term damage??
These are the questions I am currently asking myself. I have now decided that doing the full 60k would not be wise. I am hopeful that I will be able to participate in the one day at some level. This again is DISAPPOINTING as I believe this will be my last year. I wanted to have an over-the-top year.
So what does that mean? RE-FOCUS! It's not the end of the world...so what can I do with my limitations at this current time? I will do what I can...
My HEART has continue to be stirred with PASSIONS that are in me for so many more things. My DESIRES are to come alongside others and help them be the best they can be. So for now, I will continue to be hopeful for June 7th...but regardless I am THANKFUL for the others that I can pour into.
My daughter is participating in the very first KidK for Cancer and I will SUPPORT her BIGTIME! She will honour her grandmother and many others as she walks 5k to help raise awareness and to find a cure. So far she has raised 5x the amount she is required.
So how do I handle my disappointments? RE-FOCUS on what you CAN do....process it through dialogue with my spouse or good friend and then MOVE ON :-)
I once heard a story about a donkey stuck in a well. The farmer was not able to get it out, so in order to put it out of it's misery he started to fill the well with dirt. The donkey was making a terrible noise and was probably very afraid...over time the noise stopped and the farmer kept filling the well with dirt. Eventually, the donkey stepped up and out of the well. You see, the dirt would fall on the donkeys back...the donkey shook it off and stepped up onto the dirt. He continued this until he was able to get out!!
So SHAKE IT OFF....STEP UP and get OUT of what ever has DISAPPOINTED you!!!
