Feeling Alive

Alive! If you are reading his, you are alive!

But what are you doing to feel really ALIVE!

I have a few experiences that I can remember that I have felt ALIVE!

Two stand out to me:

The first one was in July of 2011. We were in Florida and rented a Stand up Paddleboard. I felt alive when I hopped on the board in the ocean and tried to stand up. I couldn’t, so I knelt. Not sure I ever stood up that day, but I fell in love with how free and “athletic” I felt. Something about being on that board and trying to conquer the waves made me feel alive.

The next one occurred on Sunday, September 15, 2019. My husband and I took off for a walk which turned into a hike, which turned into some trail running. As we were running a stretch of trail, I had a calm come over me. I told myself, “I Feel Alive”. I want to bottle this feeling up. It is a beautiful, peaceful feeling.

There has been a lot of grief happening in my life in the last few months. I feel that there are some days I am just going through the motions. Not really living life.

But to truly feel alive, in that one instance, I know that I will overcome the grief.

Where have you felt alive at recently? What can you do in your life to keep that feeling most days of the week.

In Good Health,
