I went on an 8 mile run on Wednesday. It's amazing what the body can do! My route takes me out the door and down to the reservoir and back home. Of course, going down is the easy part. All along the first 4 miles, I remind myself that what goes down must go back up.

I thought about how it relates to life. When things seem so right and perfect, I know that something is going to come along to challenge me. Right now I'm in an uphill battle, trying to find clients. I know that one day in the near future, I'll look back and laugh at my current situation, as I have done so many times before.

Stay the course, be strong, be persistent, be patient. I'm looking forward to the downhill when I crest this one!
