Run Forrest, Run!

Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time.  I often refer to it with my Facebook posts.  One of my favorite quotes is:  My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." 

So, I found it a bit ironic recently when I found myself having a Forrest Gump monent.  Have you ever had a moment in your life when you felt a bit like Forest Gump does after Jennie leaves?  If you remember, he was not sure what to do.  So, he just started running.

I found myself in a similar situation recently.  My husband did not leave me, thankfully.  But the situation I found myself in was a very hurtful one. I did not know what to do and I had an undeniable urge to run.  So, I listened to my body, heart and mind and I went for a run.  I am glad to say that while the situation was not over.  I felt better equipped to deal with it.

I have a feeling that I will be running a lot more in the future.
