Refreshed

I woke up this morning feeling energized. An energy I haven't felt in a long time. I woke up ready to get my week started. Each morning, I run three miles with Shea. I noticed an extra pep in my step on my morning run, and could feel a good day coming on.

Without a doubt, I credit this feeling of exuberance to having seen Jeff this weekend. I'm not sure how, but it eased my mind. Just seeing him, being with him, and knowing everything is good out there. I also felt relief that Jeff has seen Shea. I was sure that after a weekend full of driving, I would be exhausted today, although, gladly, that was not the case.

I hate to think of what this week could be like if I hadn't decided to go and see Jeff. I envision a very slow, painful week.  I picture being so distracted by my thoughts that I lock my keys in the house and have to wait for my uncle to get home to get inside. Or, maybe I forget to tie my shoes tight before I go for a run, resulting in me tripping and cutting my legs open. Even worse, my thoughts could wonder as I am doing my hair, and I burn my face with the curling iron. These are the types of things that happen as a result of my wondering mind. In fact, those thing have all happened, sadly. Things that would never, other than burning my face (I have done that in the past), happen when I am in a normal frame of mind.

The morning energy I felt, has gotten my week off to a good start. A week that can only get better as it goes on, for I see Jeff Friday morning.
