J-emine's reflexionando

My teardrop tolerance is next to zero. My emotions runs high when someone shares a certain pain, problem or loss in their life. It gets to me and I find myself lost within my own thoughts as I think of what they’ve shared and how I can in my own little ways lessen their pain.

By 930 am on Friday, I shed tears – not once but twice. As a close colleague shared her Mother’s health condition with me and her inability to face the foreseeable loss. It’s heart-wrenching having to know that a love ones’ days is limited. The second session (within 30 mins of the first session) were shed when a dearest friend and I spoke briefly of her personal problems, which reached a rather dramatic change- a change that she was harboring within her heart but when face head-on, it seemed too surreal to accept.

And, that kinda spelt out my Friday. I was gloomy, tired and drained out. So much so, that I skipped my planned 3rd run for the week and soaked it up at home with comfort food and calling it a earlier night.

Today, was a much BETTER day.

1 hr of strength training in the late morning – was commended for having “new found energy”, methinks the 9 hr of sleep the night before was the main reason for being circuit- productive 🙂 Met up with the dearie for lunch, had a “honest as fark” conversation of her situation – ever grateful of our true grit honesty with each other.

I did my part for Earth Hour by shutting off all the lights at home and heading out for my 3rd run for the week.

Did you do your part for Earth Hour?
