Blessings for the Soul
I am continually impressed that some weekends in my life can be so completely renewing and nourishing for my soul. This weekend was especially so!
It started out with new relationship building and continued throughout the weekend. It's exciting, but most importantly, it's calming. "It feels like coming home'" was said more than once this weekend. We get caught up in things having to be 'roller coaster exciting' when in all actuality it is fun having those moments, but the quality life things matter so much more. The day to day important things that aren't 'roller coaster exciting' that are equally as exciting in their own way are where it's at. And sometimes all of that comes at a time when you had no idea it would. So to be surprised, excited and blessed by one person is AMAZING.
Continuing down the soul enriching path was newborn baby snuggles. There is NOTHING like brand new life to make you live in the moment. I dare say there are no more precious moments in life than snuggling tiny babies. None. And darn cute ones at that. It fills the soul and heart in ways you didn't even know you needed it.
Then, in typical 'Kara Weekend' fashion….I got my long run in. Instead of focusing on how my run was 3 miles shorter than it 'should have been,' I am celebrating the fact that these legs, this body is capable of running 15. And with AMAZING people by my side. The connection in my running is almost more important to me than the running itself, because again it fills my soul. To have the supreme blessing to strengthen my body, my soul and my mind at the same time is so very amazing.
I finished a fantastic, soul-enriching weekend with a walk with my kindred spirit/best friend/other half of me. The connection between us is almost palpable, and I never want to go a day without her in it. We had an amazing walk and talk, and my heart is even fuller yet.
My final thought for this morning is this: life really is about people: what you can do FOR them, what you can do WITH them, and how you can enrich their lives by being in it. I hope that I pass back even just a small amount of what I'm given by those in my life. And thank you to those people who fill up my soul, aren't afraid to be honest, free and to open your hearts-this girl thanks you immensely.
Have a blessed Sunday!
