If You Wish To Go Anywhere You Must Run Twice As Fast

Closing the door behind me, I take a look in all of its glory at the 2013 300E Mercedes interior that I was sitting in. Black leather with wood trim, fully loaded...beautiful. As I turned the key, the Benz woke up and reminded me to fasten my seatbelt. The car had just been sold and my boss chose me to take it to its final destination. I didn't turn on the radio, but instead listened to it switch gears.

When put in the presence of something beautiful, something that you know that you are lucky to be around, we act differently. I am going to be the first to admit that I am guilty of this. Would I have treated a beat up '95 Chevy truck the same way I treated the Benz? Probably not, and neither would you.

The world would be a far better place if we would take a step back and instead of judging something on its worth, embrace it for all that it has to offer. Maybe the '95 Chevy doesn't remind you to fasten your seatbelt, but the 'hug' that the seatbelt gives when fastened lets you know that you're going to be safe. Maybe the Chevy doesn't switch gears as easily, and sometimes it actually gets stuck in second, which is a little awkward, but it reminds you that not everything is perfect and no matter what, it will still get you to where you need to be.

Today will conclude my first full week in the Springs and marks my first pay day! The people I work for are the coolest people I have ever met. My boss has offered to fix Diana's car for her and lend me a car to drive back and forth to work, which is beyond awesome of him. I have been beyond blessed so far while being here and everything has fallen right into place, just as I had hoped for.

Today in the books after work Diana and I are going to hot yoga then painting with a twist! As sore as I am from Crossfit this week, Yoga will be a nice change up. Speaking of Crossfit, Diana introduced me to a babe the other day, we are grabbing drinks on Monday. My first question to Diana, do they sale Makers Mark here? Oh my Old Kentucky home.
