Yesterday I woke up at 6AM.  No, it does not come automatically.  I actually have to set my alarm and try so hard not to snooze it.  Why did I wake up?  No, it wasn't so I could get over jet lag, but so I could jog.  I have been trying to jog the past few months.  It wasn't something I originally enjoyed doing, but over the last couple of months I have learned to enjoy it more and more.  I realize that yes, exercise does produce  endorphins that help me during the day -- happy hormones as I'd often refer to them.  I do a better job at the office when I have been exercising, I am able to produce more.  I don't feel sluggish.  I don't get cranky easily -- except when I wake  up at 5AM and in my foolishness stay up until 2AM.  Yes, exercise does me good, but I could still be foolish at times. :)

So why else do I jog?  No, it is not to keep trim or lose weight.  I jog because I feel better when I do.  And, when I do it in the morning, I get to see other friends and co-workers jogging at the same time, and I get to see the sun rise, then it reminds me of a lot of things that are beautiful in this life.  It reminds me of the beauty that God has in store for me every day.  i hope you have your own "jogging" moments too.

Here are some pictures of the first time I went jogging while here in Hawaii.
