Lessons

     Funny how life is full of stride and set backs. I’ve spent the last two years trying desperately to get back in shape. Exercise was a wonderful outlet for me before I got sick. I loved going for a run to clear my mind. Ended up with a bum leg after surgeries and re-learning a new outlet has been more difficult than you would think but has given me the new opportunity to learn things I may not have learned otherwise. We took up kayaking last year as a new adventure that’s been huge success! Tried Zumba for the first time last week and loved the atmosphere, however found out the hard way after being skinned from ribs to groin, that scar tissue does not shake it well.
     So happy to be enjoying a walk on my treadmill this morning. Still a little tender but happy just the same. It made me think about all my blessings. I now know what it’s like to spend years wishing to not be over weight, but know exactly how scary it can be to spend months trying desperately to gain weight. I know what it’s like to say a prayer wishing to die, but to spend months fighting to live. So thankful for all my blessings. I love that I can understand that just because another persons battle isn’t as big as mine or even bigger, it’s the biggest battle they have had to fight thus far, and is every bit as big to them. What battle will you win today? Mine was my treadmill. Hoping to make a Ford fly and see if a simple mud race can greatly boost a local economy. Never know until you try. What else can I learn?❤️
