As I am working on being healthy and working out who I want to be, I’ve decided it is worthwhile to thank people for what they have done for me. People are often perplexed when your behavior towards them changes. You were once consistent and focused and then suddenly you weren’t. Taking time to reflect on relationships brings closure. It makes things clearer and you come to appreciate what you had with that person.

A year ago, if you told me I would email my old boss and tell her thank you I would have laughed you into oblivion. I was angry with her for not knowing what I was going through even though I didn’t tell her. When I finally told her, it probably appeared to be another excuse. In a long line of excuses.

As I reflected on what I did there and who I was there, I would have been over me too.

Today, I wrote her a thank you and an apology. She wasn’t my enemy. She helped me way past her season. She was kinder than what I deserved. I stayed way longer than I should have. I knew my time was up in September of 2016, but I held on way beyond that point.

I have really come to understand some people are seasonal people. They are there to guide you on your path and forcing things to go longer is absolutely detrimental to your growth and to theirs.

My ego really doesn’t want her to think I want back in. I do not. But I value the experience for what it was.

I learned so much from them. Not just about what to do, but what not to do. I learned what I need for growth and I learned that I should ALWAYS trust my gut.

As day 3 comes to a close I have 6 workouts in.

One donut shaped mistake and a greater understanding of where I am headed. ( a parent brought us krispie Kreme)

Greater clarity and a list of what I’m good at.

Let’s see what tomorrow holds.
