Just a bit of contrast today.

Most of my day was rather abysmal. No exaggeration there. When all was said and done, two weeks of being sub-par threatened to unravel 2 years of blood, sweat, and tears. My levels of resentment were flying high. It’s taken a lot of time and counsel to get me to the point where I know where my head should be regarding this situation. Still, a particular tone was set for the day and that’s how the day went.

I went into this evening’s run intending to really get my frustrations out and work it all into the ground. Unexpectedly, the run itself isn’t what lightened my mood. It was the general feedback from my class about how I’ve been encouraging and useful in motivating them that’s put me at ease. I know that a little positivity goes a long way. Apparently it’s working.

See. I’m not a failure. Thanks for reminding me that even though some people are telling me otherwise.
