I was in for a big surprise today at the gym. Coach will be gallivanting later in the week so he decided to make today Arm Day instead of working our usual Monday chest routine. He met with no protests – only smiles from me.

He pointed out my emerging biceps and triceps, and I did see some minor improvements there. I’m trusting the plan through all my impatience. We performed the standard weekly regression test and I’m happy to say the results were outstanding once again.

I continue to be grateful for the everyday gifts I receive. I always thought I needed black velvet boxes, but it’s so much more satisfying to watch the mountains move – for my comfort… For my joy… For my happiness. Without complaint… Without resentment. With a smile and a kind heart.

And I feel cherished.

I feel like a seed beneath the sidewalk that is receiving the best of all things necessary for optimum growth. I’m cracking the concrete above my head with my strength and pushing my face up to the sun. I’m evolving into something new and beautiful.

I feel strong.

I feel… Delighted.
