Inspiration Mondays: Different From What I Thought
Today is the day after my first 10k run. I had a blogpost all planned for it: a litany of things I always wanted to say to those people throughout my life who had ever made me feel small and ugly and insignificant. It was going to be a post of triumph and pride.
But life sends you changes all the time.
Instead, I will say:
This is for you, Sarah. Thank you for being a wonderful friend, and for having the unique gift of always knowing what to say and when to say it. You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to me to be the best friend, wife, sister, daughter, and hopefully mother, that I could be. You have taught me how to be a decent person, especially to my most loved ones. You introduced me to yoga, which helped me to heal myself from the inside, and thus helped me to heal myself outside, too. Your spirit lit up every single room you walked into. I shall endeavour always to be the person you believed me to be. Thank you for being in my life.

Absence brings you nearer,
And the wait will be my craft.
