A friend of mine reminded me tonight who I really am and what I can do when I put my mind to it. I've been so overwhelmed with stuff happening "to" me that I'd forgotten that I really do have control... over how I react to the world and the stuff that sometimes just seems to bury me. Sometimes someone will say something at just the right time and a light bulb will go on.
See these medals?
I earned those. With a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Literally. It seems like a lifetime ago but it was really over the last 2 years, the last one being in May. I may be sidelined now with my injury but I WILL get back to my old self again.
See the sign on the shelf? My daughter was just under 2 when my husband made that sign to cheer me on at the Disneyland Half Marathon last year. Now, when I run on my Dreadmill she stands next to me shouting "go mommy, go mommy!". My Princess B believes in me and who am I to let her down?
So, thank you Dawn, for reminding me of what I have inside of me. I know you didn't intend that with your simple questions but that's what you accomplished. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. <3
Peace.
