Just "DO"

Today I awoke to find that my morning included a rainstorm.  Yup.  Rain.  In most scenarios, I'd simply wrinkle my nose, grab my umbrella, and run out to my car to carry on with my day as planned.  You can still get a lot done in the rain! (Hello, London & Seattle!)

However, this morning, the nose wrinkle included an internal growl.  I had planned to go for a really long walk / jog.  Well, I'm no hard-core outdoor's woman or devout runner, so the rain put an instant stopper on those plans.  The problem was that I still really wanted to work out.  I had propped myself up and gotten out of bed at 7:30 this morning to do just that!  And now, here I was, rained-in.

Now, many of you are probably saying "well, just go to the gym."  Point.  Counterpoint:  I just moved and haven't signed up with a local gym.  Hmmmm, that left me in quite a dilemna.  WHAT TO DO!?

Then, I remembered!  I had seen a place called "The Dailey Method" and knew it was only a few blocks away.  So, I hopped on my computer, looked up the center, discovered I could register and pay for a single class online (COOL!!) and walked myself there @ 7:45 am, umbrella and all. 

Let me tell you, too, fantastic work out.  It kicked my butt!  I left there feeling muscles tingle that I hadn't felt in a very long time.  I also felt supremely under athletic, as normal workouts and training do not prepare you for that type of a workout!  However, it was (post-workout minded) extremely refreshing!

But what was the point of all that?  To remind you that even when something looks like it has destroyed your plans, evolve!  Enjoy!  Explore!   Find something else that falls into the same vein or experiment in something totally outside what you had planned, but JUST "DO!"
