Yesterday was the 10th Anniversary of Sept 11. I know anyone who has a TV knows that. I must admit that with everything that has been going on up here in the last 6 months (tornadoes) that seeing the footage of Sept 11th was tough. I think it would have been rough no matter what-but it just feels like there has been a lot of tough stuff lately. I think that Sept 11th for my generation will be the same as JFK being shot for my parents generation. I know that most of us remember where we were when we heard and saw the towers being hit and falling. I know we were all glued to the television that day and huddled with the people we care most about.
I have begun to think of Sept 11th as a time of Renewal (thus the title of this post). I urge everyone to take the purpose of this blog to heart. We should all work to become the people we want to be. We all should be a little nicer to our neighbors, smile at strangers, learn to laugh at yourself, and try everyday to something good for someone else. That is my challenge to the world. Starting today be a better version of yourself-I will be Reese2.0!
Working in a field that is about "helping" sometimes I miss the mark when I am not at work. Tonight I joined a gym (mine was blown away in the tornado) and it has some wonderful classes. I went to the BodyPump class and I can barely walk, but while I was there I just talked to everyone about being sore tomorrow, that I had just joined the gym, that I hadn't done BodyPump in years. There was an older lady there who was a little nervous and I continued to turn around, smile and talk about how sore my legs were she opened up. After the class she told me she had just joined the gym again after being gone for a while and she was nervous. She thanked me for being so open about being nervous and just being honest. That is what being here is about-supporting each other and making it a little easier to make it through this life!
I hope you all have a wonderful week and I promise to be better at posting. I have a lot of things left to check off so I am about to head into the final push!
