Today I skipped my walk to help a family member move

Let’s hope this is the last person I have to move for a while…

While i didn’t get my walk in, I gained something else that felt just as important: a little more confidence in myself.

I realized that I can handle these kinds of tasks without the “guidance of my ex. I didn’t need him at all.

The small group we had formed was actually able to get everything done by working together and relying on each other’s strengths. We got the job done quickly and everyone had a role to play.

He did end up joining us near the end of the evening and offered to feed us all. Before I would have stuck around and listened to him complaing about paying after having offered. Today, I politely declined, got my own food and went home to study.

It may seem like a small thing, but to me, it wasn’t.

Sometimes progress isn’t measuring in steps or miles. Sometimes it’s realizing that you are more capable on your own than you ever gave yourself credit for.

The Steps: 3,814
The distance: 1 mile
