Today I'm not going to be posting about running, and not just because yesterday was a Rest Day. With it being a mile stone, it seems a good time to stop and look at life in general. I heard a line on the radio (NPR, in "In Which Way, a War Photographer in his Element") this morning that got my mind working.
"You are rich because you have the power to determine your future, and most of the world doesn't."
We are rich. We have so many choices in life, that even when most of us think life is hard, that we are at a "low" point - we are so much richer than most people in the world. We have choices and opportunities that most people in the world can't imagine. We raise our families and can put our kids in programs that our grandparents couldn't have envisioned if they tried. It isn't just these things that make us rich either. There are so many things beyond money.
Me? When I look at the world in general, I have to admit - I am wealthy beyond all imagining.
