A moment of happiness

I'd finished at the gym and still had the glow that comes from 20 minutes treadmill, 20 minutes cross trainer and 20 minutes swimming followed by steam room and jacuzzi. As I was walking to the changing rooms after the CV, drenched in sweat and probably looking hot and bothered, one of the instructors asked me if I was tired "How you feeling? Knackered?" "Actually I feel great!" and I did. Not really tired at all, just full of energy and knowing I'd done some effort. Then I went to the local equivalent of Walmart to buy my wife a mother's day present from my son, and I looked around. I was still 'glowy' and damp haired from the shower and I looked round at all these other people shopping. They looked grey and tired and unhappy buying their high-fat, manufactured, processed food and all the while I just had this smile on my face. Just contented with life and feeling in balance and active and confident and able to hear my body. I've not felt that for years, probably since I was a child. I'm happy with my life, my body, and the choices I'm making for the first time in years and years. There is no way I'm going back to that other life. Love to all! :love: Jon
