Circle of Trust
We should all be grateful for what we have. Sometimes we go by our day and we are getting unhappy over things we don’t possess or some place that we would rather be or even some other personal stuff. We all should practice attitude of gratitude. We need to strive for better, strive for perfection but also be grateful at the same time. What we have here is given to us by the grace of God, and will be taken away from us when the day comes. So be grateful for what you have and strive for better to fulfill you purpose on this planet.
Prayers for people in need, people that going through some tough times, Harbaugh’s brother-in-law’s mother, Stay Pufft daughter’s friend and her family, my brother in Ukraine. Prayers. Amin.
Naked Man Moleskin
It was last minute Q , Bush Push reached out to me on Tuesday to cover for him. I never let BDRC before and I was kinda nervous about it because a lot of guys are faster than me, so ultimately leading this group is tough for me. Thank you to all PAX for pushing me and thank for sharing this run this morning. It was not easy but we all got stronger and faster.
PS. Just watch out for Stay Pufft when he yells “car is coming” – I almost shit my pants, and that car was a block away 😂.
