Decisions

And so I debated with myself this early morning: Should I go down to the Fitness Center for a workout? Or, should I go outside and walk for a couple of miles? Fitness Center: quiet, excellent equipment, comfortable conditions. Outside walk: rather cool this morning, cars and trucks rumbling along, noisy, up and down off of curbs. So, in one of my better instinctual decisions, I went outside. And do you know what I found? Perfect temperature for a walk, very few cars at 5:30 on a Sunday morning, brilliant sunshine, birds singing their hearts out, flowers blooming everywhere, glowing mountains in the distance, and a multi-colored hot air balloon floating just above my head.

It was reasonable to stay inside in a place made for exercise. It was unreasonable to go outside and deal with a lot of unknowns. My mind told me one thing. My curiosity and my heart told me another.

Don’t be afraid to lead with your heart.

Be at peace today, and leave peace behind everywhere you go.
