Finish Strong...

As we walk along our human journey, we find ourselves in a cycle that involves energy, sickness, health, exhaustion. Sometimes we have other emotions sprinkled in like joy or grief. Our human journey is complicated and sometimes we come across a wall. This has been true for me this past five days, a wall of sickness that I can't seem to shake.  Whenever this kind of obstacle comes my way I am reminded of my human-ness, that I am not invincible, that I can't do it all. I know this in my head, of course, but I go forward in my life as if there are no bounds. I live fully for my family, for my job, for my friends. Each of these areas I do my best to give 100% but sometimes although the mind is willing the body does not follow.

I need to remember why I am along this journey...not the journey of my life, but rather the journey of my heart. Why do I do what I do? What is my endgame...my epic win? This journey of my heart involves so many, my family, my friends, my students. I want to remember why I started, but most of all I want to Finish Strong...
