300 push-up blog 2/20/09
On any other day I would be so happy to get my push-ups increase from 260 to 300. But today it’s a bittersweet moment. I reached goal - did sets of 20 and 25’s. Next time I want 30 at a time. so it was easy to get to 300 today. Yes Regular push-ups. Tonight I’m not sure if I have time for kickboxing but weights yes. Then tomorrow it’s a 4 mile run around my neighborhood with yoga and Step.
My Rod went to court to take care of a personal matter that would either help him with his green card status or having it denied and yes - return to Kenya permanently. Not good news and here comes money spending time. At first I was not go to blog it but hey it’s my blog and I can cry if I want to. As a green card holder myself I know what he’s going through. This is the only life we know - here in America. What happens if it’s stripped away? What if you go back and you don’t fit in with the people back home? See he will never be a pure Kenyan. Just like me. If I went back home - I will not be a “Cambodian” because to the Cambodians I’m too American. What it boils down to is acceptance. But why worry about the future right? Well in the back of my head I wonder how is it going to effect us?? We plan on getting married. So what if my husband is sent back to Kenya? Do I go there to? How am I going to adjust to that lifestyle? See crazy thoughts just crazy thoughts.
Well, I’m going to focus on the today and now. He will get an INS lawyer and get going on taking care of his issues. I can’t help him with this one. It’s his battle to fight. I can only support him and that I can do no doubt.
Moments like this makes me want to take a nice drive to the beach and listen to the crashing waves and kick sand around with my honey on my side.
What’s my lesson for today? Never take anything for granted. Life is short and precious. Let’s make the best of it.
