Welcome to My Garden

We may walk on different paths, but we follow the same footprints.

This year I'm focusing on improving my running and overall health by taking the 2017 Mile Challenge and seeing where the journey takes me. I'm also revisiting the Monthly Challenge started by Nephew Jason in 2009.

I'll try to post something every day. It may be a short inspirational quote or a longer narrative. Please join me......

"If you don't try, you won't know you can."

2017 miles Day 190

Today's message is from my mom:

"If you don't try, you won't know you can."

A simple word  "Try" has made all the difference.  I didn't know I could run a 5K until I tried.  I didn't know I could run a half-marathon until I tried.  I didn't know I could paint until I tried.  I didn't know I could - until I tried.  

On the same note.  There are several things that I tried and the outcome wasn't what I expected or wanted.  Did that mean that I quit trying?  No, it just meant that I tried differently.  Trying is a learning experience.  It is an experiment.  There is no "fail' in "try", there is just a different way to do that which you want to accomplish.  

What do you want to do???  If you don't try, you won't know you can!!!  

Now, GET OUT THERE ... You have work to do!!!
