THE EARTH IS MY GYM . . .

Getting back into a routine of waking up before the sun and heading outside for a jog has been amazing for me. I throw on a pair of sweats, a sweatshirt, lace up the shoes and I'm out the door in less than 10 minutes. The air is refreshingly cool, clean and clear.

The peace and privacy I experience outside so early in the morning is the perfect setting for meditation and reflection. After 45 minutes I feel a sense of organization and structure. What previously felt overwhelming, now feels manageable and I look forward to the tasks and challenges ahead.

Every morning I say "wow!" loud enough to be heard if there were someone else present. Wow to the magenta glow of the rising sun, wow to the fox shirting across the street, wow to the beautifully illuminated NYC skyline.
