Overcome

My list of "can't do's" has slowly, but surely been whittled down to just a few.  If my calculations are correct, I think I only have one thing left to do.

I went back to the gym this week.  This was one of the most difficult bridges for me to cross.  I have circled the gym on a few occasions. I have even gone so far as to pull into a parking space, but caved at the last minute, as I felt my world closing in tightly around me.

On Tuesday, I woke up and pushed through with amazing force. My account had been frozen in time, much like everything else surrounding that day.  I called beforehand and asked if they could please "thaw it out" and have it good and ready by the time I got there :o)

My favorite class was on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Often times I thought that if I ever happen to cross the gym threshold again, it would be at times I had never gone before. Hopefully surrounded in people I didn't know.

As it turns out, there is no place I would rather have been than the class I used to go to before, surrounded in some of the people I used to know!

Tuesday was great. I breezed past the Preschool room, flew right by the door that leads to the childcare room and was safely inside my class. No tears. Not really any lingering memories.  I had a great workout, saw some old friends and was back in my car, unscathed.

I naively believed I was over the worst of it.

I was wrong.

Today was much worse....
