12,000
steps, that is. This is the number Daughter once upon a time ago placed into my fitbit obsessed brain with her go higher mantra. Just set your daily bar a teensy, tiny bit above the norm and see what happens, she encouraged, as hmmm. ok. why not, I complied
& truth be told ? easy-peasy, it was, as my every day walks in the park were sooooo embedded into who I was and what I did only a few, short yesterdays ago.
Boom. Done.
But when life decided to hand over a curve ball or three ??
errrr. ummm. yeah. A big ol’ NEVER MIND, toooooo busy or stressed or tired or this or that to even think !! I excused, as ever so effortlessly I placed this completely out of reach, impossibly HUMONGOUS goal back on the shelf where it rightfully belonged.
12,000 ?!!? Seriously ??!!?
No. Flippin. Way.
Enter Covid-19
& just why I’m refueled in this stepstepstep quest is absolutely beyond me but for thisclose to two months now, it’s what I am
Awakened and invigorated, 12,000 has become my mission as I find any which way I can to up that tally.
& just why in the world am I sharing this info as we begin yet another Wednesday in these surreal days of Corona ?? Because if I’ve learned anything from this beast (& yes, I’ve learned a lot) it’s to overcome the boundaries I place upon my own self and simply DO. Just. DO.
Those hills and mountains, those YaYs and nays, those awesome-s and horrible-s are handed over for a reason and it is up to each and every single one to figure out our why’s, our WHAT THE ?? our I can’t-s !! and I don’t WANNA-s !! and become that oooooh sooooo better version of US.
So, hey there, 12 ?? dare I even try 13 ???
& just like that, I know we will.
I know we can.
I KNOW we must.
