Do Something Your Heart Desires

After I had went through a bad divorce and I started analyzing about what had just happened, and what was my part in that failure, I figured I needed a big change to overcome the losses. I was 39 and hope was bleak; I started to fall into some despair. knowing my thoughts were pretty harsh, I then decided to stop thinking about the past and take a leap of faith to create a new life for me and my children. Energy was low but I decided to move to Hawaii. I had one family member in Hawaii and asked if they could help me relocate. I found a good job and found a nice place to live that was within my budget. My life changed quite a bit just from the culture alone, but it was for the better. I managed to get us settled, but I needed to make friends and get a life! So, I joined a marathon training group! It brought me out of that despair I had been feeling, I made a few friends and kept my momentum going. I managed to finish the Honolulu marathon, alive, better off than before, and fit better in my jeans. I have fond memories of starting over at the age of 40. I went on to do triathlons that I never dreamed I could participate in. God was there. My children saw and it inspired them to do what they love. So, in saying all this. You have the power to change your life. Don't stay sad...do something your heart desires.
