Catalyst

Life is filled with motivators, but occasionally I find something that is actually a catalyst that makes a definite change.

For me the difference between the two depends on the impact it has in my life.

For example: being diagnosed with type two diabetes last summer motivated me to make some life style changes in diet and exercise, but discovering Bestest's podcasts has whipped my walking into double time.

I used to walk one mile once a day. Now I walk two plus miles all at one time so I can listen to these podcasts.  They are a catalyst.

I find myself branching out, walking farther on the Constitution Trail, even leaving the confines of in-town walking for some out along the borderlands between town and country.

It is a new adventure and one I am enjoying immensely.
