One of those days…
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” -Mike Tyson Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night, but I had one of those days where I felt so burned out from all the trying and coping I’ve been doing lately. Then I heard someone use that quote and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Most of the time I’m pretty cheerful and optimistic, but the last year and a half kind of felt like being punched in the face over and over again. Not in a violent way, but in a “didn’t see that coming!” kind of way. I could list all the things I’m tired of, and all the hopes and plans that came to nothing, but we’ve all been in the pandemic together, so there’s no need. One thing I’m especially tired of is not being able to run, but luckily there was this: This picture was from Monday morning, and just looking at it makes me hopeful again. Yes! There will be running! And sunshine! Life goes on. I guess it’s time to make some new plans. Do you feel like the pandemic made you more optimistic, or pessimistic? Do you get depressed when you can’t run? – Oh yes.
