Today was race weekend in Ottawa. It moved me to tears and observation.
For it seems that everyone has a race to run. In may not be in a marathon, but in life itself. We all, at some point in our lives, face a journey of adversity and struggle and , ultimately, experiencing the joy of victory. We all have come through things, experiencing "hitting the wall|" moments where we didn't think we would make the finish.
But we did.
We did it because something inside us told us to go on. To take another step. That it was worth it.
We did it because there was someone cheering us on from the sidelines. Just like this race weekend. Someone shouting "you are almost there", "keep going", "looking good". Just when we are feeling at our peak of exhaustion, a smile of encouragement infuses our spirt and body with energy.
Race weekend is about all of this. About how amazing we are and can be. About how amazing the difference that support from even strangers, makes.
We all have a race to run. A journey to find out what we are capable of and to know the glory of achieving far more than we ever could ,with the help and clapping hands of others.
Congrats to all the runners out there. You inspire me. Thank you.
