Inspired in response to a new friend's blog: jesuisbrietard

I'm reminded of how important it is to embrace one's own emotions. To experience the emotion fully and embracing it into self. Through this act I acknowledge my humanity and learn what it is to love; the vulnerability causing its grief, sorrow, and disappointment. We have choice at this moment: To embrace the emotion and cradle it in love or, to bottle it to one day explode in an act of misplaced aggression.

Exercise is a good tool for training the body to "work through" the emotions more effectively, with less wear and tear. I'm reminded of how the changes in my life, with all of its emotional turmoil, caused such physical pain during those times. Had I been in better physical condition, I suspect my physical body would have endured much more gracefully; putting me in a good mood.

Please read the next blog entry "Fear or Achievement" too. It's relevance will not be missed.
