Of a drop of sweat, some encouraging words, the start of a final chapter & safety.

Another multiple beautiful moments day!

I've been working out seriously for a year and half...I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I've missed a workout.  For me one of the beautiful rewards of a good workout is sweat!  I love to feel a bead sweat start at the top of my forehead, travel down to the tip of my nose and drip off!

The beautiful reward of hard work! (it's a sweat droplet...Wendy said it looked like a spider.)

At the end of the workout, my partner and I were doing plank walk-outs.  My partners said we're going to do them across the gym.  I'm think end-to-end, thankfully it was just side-to-side!  Here is a video of a plank walkout...you should try it!

 

The walkouts started to get tough about half-way through, that's when my partner, who must have been able to read my mind, started to encourage me.  "We're half-way there!"  "Keep going!"  "Almost there"  "Don't quit!"  "You can do it!"  Those were the words that I need to hear and because of it I was able to push myself further than I could have alone!  There is much beauty to be found in helping someone, especially when they are ready to quit, ready to give up on themselves, because it's tough.  Or because it hurts.  Take time to offer encouraging words to someone, you never know, it might just make ALL of the difference!

Today was beautiful because of the start of the end.  Today was Simon's first day of the last year of preschool!  

He's getting so big!

It's hard to let go of this chapter in my life, but transitions open the doors for new beautiful moments.  I love that he still comes running and yelling "DADDEEEEEEEEE" when I walk in the door from work!  There aren't too many moments that are more beautiful than that!

Finally, the most beautiful part of the day is not this picture:

oops!

but that the occupants of our car and the other car were not hurt!
