Five, that is the time I am scheduled to get off work.... that time seems to come and go while I am still working away to complete the days tasks. 6:30 that is the average time I get off work. You know I love the overtime pay don't get me wrong what bothers me is that fact that I get to work before my boss and leave after him on a daily basis and he doesn't even bother to ask if i need a hand before he goes. Is it really to much to ask for a little support sometimes. I have to keep reminding myself that this job is my stepping stone to bigger and better things. But while I am there I can't let it bring me down.
Tonight when I left at 6:20 I was thinking about how nice my walk was going to be even though it's freezing outside. That was until I got to the door and found it raining out there. Really I guess that someone is testing me or allowing me to test myself. So I walk to my car thinking how can i convince myself that skipping tonight's walk would be okay..... that didn't happen (wow I'm holding myself accountable for my goals). As I'm driving home I'm thinking it's just a little water it's not like I'm the wicked witch of the west and am going to melt.... so by the time I hit my door I know that no matter what I am walking tonight. You know a week ago the rain would have made me curl up on the couch and say I don't need to walk tonight you can do it another day. I'm not sure what my aha moment was but I think I had one somewhere.
So I cook dinner and everyone eats and go and change out of my work clothes. While I was putting on my shoes Phil and Damien start turning off the lights and the TV. To my surprise my boys are going with me. I didn't even bring it up to them in the past when I have asked or talked to them about walking it's been nothing they wanted to do. But tonight with out a word we all left the house. It was not as cold tonight... We walked along the waterfront to the boat launch and back down to main street. In all it was 30 mins of walking and talking as a family. When we got home Damien looks at me and says "Mom that was fun we need to do it more often". I think this goal will be pretty easy to achieve even more now that my support system is building. Well I have gone on and no tonight so until next time I will be Discovering Me!
