baby steps

This morning I dragged myself to the gym, mostly because I couldn't rationalize a third shower in 24 hours without an actual purpose to shower. I had told Kayla I would be back in half an hour, but about 15 minutes into my stint on the elliptical, I was ready to retreat back to Dobby. I'm not sure exactly why, but I had a Paige moment. Kind of like WWJD, but what would Paige say? Paige has a way of inspiring me like no one else can. She's able to call me out on my shit nicely, but it's always for the best. She would have told me to stop being a baby and get my ass in gear. Even though she would have forced me to continue, somehow, she would pull out a blessing in disguise. I also think she would bring it full circle, to my t-shirt that happened to be on the top of the pile this morning.



I was wearing my Baby Steps t-shirt, from our walk to support the March of Dimes during International Key Club Convention, in Denver, CO 2009. Denver was an unbelievable experience; from smelling heaven to feeling the power of being in a room filled with thousands of high school students, with a passion to change the world, I can't imagine ever forgetting my experience in the mile high city.

My trip to Denver really has no significance to today's adventure to the gym except the message on the tshirt. Baby steps. Simply put, Paige would tell me, its all about baby steps.

I've been sitting on this post forever, figuring out how to verbalize what Paige would actually tell me, and why it has to be baby steps. I've realized that I'm still not convinced, and that I'm not exactly sure how Paige would explain it.

So I guess this my invitation to you Paige, inspire me :)
