I swear I got a rush of endorphins just reading your words!

I love this so much Steve, for so many reasons. There is beautiful writing here for sure. This, "because this is love and I know it." and this, " My three friends have arrived ahead of me...whooping, hollering, clapping, cheering, loving me in." and this, "I know there has to be something other than just doing hard things to build resilience. There has to be something else." As always, I am inspired by your running, by your resilience (not just in running) and by your grace, the love with which you greet challenges and people and how you deeply cherish the people who do these hard things with you. I think that's really what I feel in this piece, there is obviously love, that spills over, and there is this thing that you've done in your life that you manage to capture in your writing, without saying it: you have let people in. You have let people love you and help you and support you. That, to me, is the aboutness of this piece, the resilience if you will. It's that you allow. Allow the love in as well as give it out. Such a beautiful thing and I'm not sure I'm very good at the letting of it in part. Thank you so much for sharing this. .✨❤️
