Two birds, one dedication

I'm glad that words and blogs and friends and family and tender mercies exist, so that it's possible for me to get over minor bumps in the road like the last post. Seriously, every time I look back on something like that I'm just like "how was that even that big of a deal?" but when it's in the moment it feels like the biggest of deals. I think you know what I mean. And I don't think feeling feelings is anything to be ashamed of. But this is not really what I came on here to post about. I just wanted to get an introductory update and thank you out of the way.

So life is good. But there are still some things I want to work on (obvs). Two in particular, this week.
As most returned missionaries (I assume), I have not been putting in the amount of effort towards keeping my spirituality strong that I did while I was on a mission. And although I am not the most sedentary person in the world, I still want to become a lot stronger, a lot healthier. So, today marks the beginning of what I hope will be a big positive-changer for me in both of these fields.

Running with conference.

Sorry if you were hoping for something big and life-changing. But actually, this kind of is.
The weather is so nice right now, and somehow the double-motivation of wanting to learn from the words of the prophets and wanting to be physically fit have provided the perfect storm of a successful workout.
For today, at least.
Haha.
But I really think this will work out for me! (no pun intended...really, I tried to get rid of it but couldn't think of another phrase I liked better). I'm starting out small and starting from the bottom, and I couldn't be happier at this chance to see how much I can grow!

I feel like I could high-five a tiger!
