My Mom has always told me how good my intuition is, since I was little she has said that. And this morning I woke with my intuition speaking loud and clear, in short it said “don’t go”. I was packed and ready to head to a buddy’s wedding in North Carolina, leaving today at 1:30 and coming home in a week. But my intuition, my gut, said it wasn’t the best move for me.
For some reason I didn’t have comfort with heading down there for a week, not sure if it was the fact that I would be in the US without any insurance, as I don’t have medical insurance, if it was because I have a little bit of a history when it comes to August and getting really sick, or if anything that I’m aware of played a role. Whatever the reason I didn’t have comfort with leaving today, so as I usually do, I listened to my gut and have cancelled my trip. I’m staying home, to continue my resting and rebuilding.
I like to define my intuition as the combination of my head and my heart, and my experience has proven that my gut is a great guide through most any Challenge or experience. I am feeling fine, great actually, had a banner weekend with some great chats and miles on my bike. No pains, haven’t had blood in a few weeks but all feels well and I feel as though the energy is coming along nicely in the past while. Because I had a planned week off I can take this time to organize and prepare myself for the months ahead as they are sure to be busier than the past few. I am in training for the 2002 RealTime Cancer Climb, which is set for Friday, September 20th, when I’ll attempt to tackle the Hill (without stopping) with as many supporters as
want to join me. And then in October I’ll be launching the 2002 RealTime Cancer Challenge in at least 12 schools in 6 communities across Newfoundland.
Really looking forward to the next few months, and perhaps a week of rest to prepare for them is exactly what my gut had in mind. Either way I’m content with my decision, a little pissed that I’ll miss the wedding and seeing some buddies I don’t see every day, but I’m sure here is where I’m supposed to be. You’ll hear from me again soon.
Always…
Live Life. Love Life.
