Enjoy The Little Things

This past Sunday after my daily devotion and morning workout; I decided to grab a coffee and cheer the runners who were participating in the 2024 London Marathon. Nev and Chloe were not feeling well so it was just me standing with the crowd waiting to witness some of the most Elite runners in the world in the following categories: Wheelchair, Women, and Men. It was amazing to see so many people line up to cheer these participants who have trained to run a whopping 26.2 miles. Fortunately, the weather was also decent. Although it wasn’t warm at least it wasn’t raining and the sky was clear and the sun was out. Maybe, I am getting older but I am noticing that its the little things that give me joy. Just seeing people smile and cheer others or having random conversations with other on-lookers brought a smile to my face. I remember when I did the Stockholm Marathon in 2014 and remember that feeling and sense of accomplishment when I finished the race. As you can see, I have not looked back to do another marathon but kudos to everyone who made the commitment to train, run, and God willing complete a marathon. You are the real MVP. Also, special thanks to the many people who cheer the runners; it really encourages them to keep on pushing.
