May 2024 High/Low

Sometimes when we get emotional, we tend to blur the specifics

-John Cena

The month of May was the first month of my 36 years. I was able to spend a weekend in Wilmington, NC and ran a 5K there. It was a good weekend. I arrived a few hours before check in so I spent some time at Mayfaire Town Centre and it was a blast. I like how it was convenient to my hotel area. After my 5k, where I took 1st for women aged 30-39, I drove to Wrightsville Beach. I had lunch at Oceanic then went to the beach and spent my day there. It was nice to relax and reflect. Being at the beach, especially a beach town that has a semi-big city nearby made me think about Naples, FL. I missed it alot. It wasn't all roses and rainbows but I miss the calmness, having the beach down the street and the atmosphere and level of hope I had back then. I am filled with gratitude for the life I lived, the experiences I had and the lessons I learned. God is good and He truly has been good to me.

The second week of May brought in thunderstorms, cloudy sunny days and a sense of disappointment. However, after every cloudy day there’s a rainbow and better days ahead. Holding on to that and the fact that it's truly a blessing to be alive, has offered me some sort of comfort regarding what lies ahead.

May brought tears, disappointment and situations that I never could imagine myself being in but that’s where my faith kicks in. I serve a powerful God. A God who knew me before I knew myself. So I’m trusting God and believing that He is who He said He is.
