This was a year ago today..... what a difference a year makes! Thank you Jesus! Perfect quote for today given this FB reminder of where I started--- "I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!" Slow and steady #lbf. Tried one of my mom's meatballs that had been simmering in her sauce all day. Mashed the hell out of it (even though it was basically falling apart anyhow)! Felt it. But not painful. More just an awareness that it was there and moving through. But see----THAT is a beautiful thing. It WAS there and DID move through.
Positive thoughts breed more positive thoughts. I'm a firm believer that even though we cannot direct the wind, we CAN adjust our sails. Attitude is everything. I know I sound lame and like a when life gives you lemons lecture ----- but seriously. I COULD HAVE felt sorry for myself. I COULD HAVE cried at how unfair it all was (and I did have my moments). But I didn't choose to live there. I picked myself up, dusted myself off and faced each day with a grateful heart for the gifts I DID and DO have instead.
And now....a year (well really a 16 year long saga) later ---- I'm in such a better place and will continue to start each day with a grateful heart because as I've written before ----- there is always ALWAYS something to be grateful for---- we just have to find it.
Be strong. Be positive despite obstacle. Be fierce my friends.
Thanks for reading 💜💜💜
