Progress

Walked two miles and rode the recumbent bike for 10 minutes at the gym today. That might not seem like much to you -- particularly if you run 15 miles a day and bench press cars for fun -- but when I started at the gym in January of this year, I could barely walk a half mile. Eight months later, two miles and 10 minutes on the bike. It's progress, and progress that I didn't see until I started to wonder where I started at.

Well, what do you know? The walking is working. Slowly but surely, I'm regaining my health.

Progress.

Things don't always go at the speed we'd like. Or the speed we think we're capable of it. If it hadn't been for friends, I probably would have given up three months ago. But now I feel energized to realize that I've been making progress even when I wasn't noticing.

Isn't that awesome? Progress was going on while I was despairing. Gives me hope, it does. Maybe things are happening in other areas in my life that I'm not unaware.

Yeah, maybe I'm holding on to slender hopes, but you know what? I'm not going to let go.
