Despite the blasted rain, I still walked to the gym on my lunch break today. My trainer did not take it easy on me as he presented me with a 500 rep challenge. 50 reps (fast as you can) of each of the following: squats, push-ups, lat pull-down, floor press, leg raises, bicep curls, tricep pull-downs, incline sit-ups, stationary lunges, and mountain climbers. I completed the circuit in 26:24. He said the goal is one day get to the 1,000 rep challenge.

But, on my walk back to work (inspired by some Imagine Dragons singing in my ears) I come upon an older fella walking in the rain too...aided by a cane. I said, "Good afternoon" as I passed him. He replied with the sarcastic, "Lovely weather we're having" to which I said, "Well, at least it's not snowing." But then he said something that I'll carry with me the rest of the day: "At least we're alive to enjoy it."

Yeah...that's it. I have legs that can carry me where I need to go. Both eyes that can see God's world. Arms that can hug and hold my babies. A heart that beats with love and with strength. I vow to honor these things I've been taking for granted. Legs...I'll make you stronger and faster. Eyes...I'll hike to places so you can see even more amazing sights. Arms...I'll make sure you always have the strength to carry your little ones. And Heart, I will continue to exercise and give you the strength to keep me alive and able to enjoy the rain showers, too.

Love, love, love this!! So true, we take our bodies and lives for granted sometimes. I like the 500 rep challenge idea, I could even do it at home for the most part, but I may die, so I'd have to make sure someone was around to check on me. :) Great inspiration for the day!

Amazing that God sends us these "everyday-angels" at just the right time. I'll probably never see this man again, but he's given me a gift. Just a reminder that you never know how your words will impact someone...so try to make everything you say matter.
