Every time I wear my ring to the gym I fall in love with it even more. I think it’s the gorgeous simplicity that gets me. Maybe it’s how it looks with my workout clothes or maybe it’s the run, but I love that it happens every time.
I also love that in falling in love I gain a sense of peace, and a sense of who I really am. I was such a princessy girly girl for so long that it amazes me how different I am now. This is accented even more when thinking about the wedding. Initially I was stressed considering what I wanted. There are so many options, and things I used to love don’t bring me the same joy anymore. This isn’t just about deciding on linens and dresses, it’s realizing who I have become.
Up until three years ago I took any excuse to dress up. I loved my high heels and used any excuse to wear them. Over the past two years I’ve realized I like a casual summer dress paired with leather flip flops over anything else I own. This seems minor, but the change was so much more than my wardrobe. I’ve gone through a crazy transformation mentally, and some days I’m still figuring out who I am and what means the most to me. I love life so much more, and value simplicity over glamour.
Today in the solitude of the gym I was able to think clearly. I think sometimes God uses these times to help us in the right direction and give us peace. I would have never imagined the person I have become, but I know it’s part of the journey He has for me. Sometimes all it takes is a little space and a good run to appreciate all that is wonderful in life.
Until next time,
