Every birthday I go for a birthday run and reflect on my life. This year is special because I turned 50! I still cant believe it! I dont feel any different. It freaks me out! Anyways I had a great 10K run. I stopped to smell all the lilacs that I passed. My favourite flower. I passed a park and thought about my children. I got teary eyed as I thought about how thankful I am for them. I thought of all my 50 years lived the ones I treasure most are my stay-at-home-mom days. They werent easy days but they were wonderful days. I felt to thankful for my husband who worked so hard so I could stay home with them. And then when they were all in school and he worked 2 jobs so I could go back to school, which he would have loved to do himself.
My 10K went so fast and easy and I felt so strong and healthy. I felt so thankful to the Lord that I can run and so thankful for my family. The Lord willing I will be able to enjoy running for many more years. Then I will enjoy running with Jesus where the streets have no name.
