Running with Angels

After being bored for a while while Mom finished her mission responsibilities, I finally asked her if she had any books to read. Surprisingly, she did. Well, her apartment did. A previous senior (or maybe middle-aged) sister missionary who had lived in that apartment had left several sacks of novels in the closet, and Mom suggested that I search through them to find one that I'd like. Most of them were suspense novels such as Mary Higgins Clark. After reading the back of two or three of them, they all seemed the same to me, and I decided I probably wouldn't enjoy reading them.
Then I came across a thinner one called Running With Angels by Pamela H. Hansen. On it was a post-it note that said "Very inspiring and made me cry." It's a story of a lady who triumphs over personal and family tragedy to be able to lose weight and even run a marathon. I really enjoyed the book, because as the post-it said . . .it was very inspiring. Granted, I haven't ever been (nor hope to be!) obese like she was, but I certainly learned alot about how to accomplish larger goals by starting . . .one step at a time. Quite literally sometimes. It can be done.
We all have bad habits in our lives that sometimes get out of control. So if you're really feeling like for once and for all you'd like to change something, I suggest reading this book. It's very inspiring . . .and it might make you cry.
(p.s. Seeing as how the original owner of the book left it behind, I now have the book in my possession.)
