Today’s Run:  Crutches…

I am determined.

I am determined not to be blue.  To not feel sorry for myself.  To not wallow in self pity.

I am determined.

But a great big, huge RATS!

Why?

I had forgotten that I had an order of brand new running shoes arriving today.

I love new running shoes!  I love running in new running shoes.  Really, really I do!!!

I cannot run in these new running shoes.  Not for a month, at least.

Boo.

Happiness is a choice!

I choose to be happy.

I choose to enjoy my baby chickens peeping in the back room.  I will enjoy watching them grow.  They are bigger now and they are holding their tails up~just like grown up chickens.

I choose to enjoy the bunny we are babysitting.  He lets me pet him now and hold him.  He wiggles his nose a lot.  He will take his bunny treats from my hand.  Funny bunny.

I choose to enjoy the cats.  They are liking cuddling with me on the sofa due to the chilly weather.  They purr a lot and fight over who gets to sleep on my lap.

I even choose to enjoy Bozo~I mean Paxton, my dog.  He likes to play with me when I am on the crutches.  He barks at them and dodges them.  We have fun playing that way.

Most of all, I choose to enjoy the extra time I have, from not running, with MFH (My Favorite Husband).  He has been the best~helping me with my usual household chores.  It is really hard to run the sweeper and do the laundry etc. on crutches!  He is a trooper.

So, the brand new running shoes will still be there when I am healed.  This hiatus is being good for me.  I have a great many things for which to be thankful!

Happiness is a choice and I choose happiness!
