Time to vent…I am so over some people. Just yesterday, to add to my list of people I want to punch in the mouth, a women, who I wouldn’t normally point out as over weight (we aren’t talking a mere five pounds either) decided to inform me that she would never want to look like…

The Next Leaf
Having a plan is only successful if it is flexible. There are few and far between that play out like planned. Glitches and detours are so common, they are expected; you have to know how to deal with them when they arise. You may not always know what to do, or do the right thing,…

Another Step
Visiting the doctor yesterday, it suprised me that I am only 7weeks out from surgery. Man, I thought it had been A LOT longer than that! But, no, not even 2months in to a 12-month recovery. However, I am walking almost normal! I am doing limited cardio! I am doing modefied exercises! Modified, meaning two…

The Next Day
I am officially six weeks out from hopefully my last surgery! I have been off crutches for two 🙂 Physical Therapy is just starting to make the shift from purely painful to semi-productive. In fact, today was the first day I left thinking “I could have done more exercises” instead of “I wonder if I…

Red Light
Sometimes in life, you wonder how you will gather the courage to make it through one more thing, how you could possibly get tested one more time. Then tomorrow comes, and you made it. You made it through, and for some reason you are still breathing. The world is still turning while you are at…

Sometimes there are situations in life that need changing, and that is obvious. It is even obvious where everything went downhill. But, where so many go wrong is having all of the pieces before them and still not seeing how they all go together. I have always wondered why some people can’t see, even when…

Depths Of My Heart
Working on the computer, listing to music, Indescribable (Chris Tomlin) began to stream through the speakers. It is a familiar song and often plays with little attention from me, but not today. Today my heart listened to the words as though I had never heard them before. “You see the depths of my heart and…

The Effort of a Champion
I have been thinking a lot lately about what is the difference between someone who ‘makes it’ and some one who doesn’t. There are many differences on a superficial level. Some may even say it is the difference between those who want it enough and those who just want. I’m not sure that is fair.…

New Year’s Resolution: Dry-Run
At the gym yesterday, I did something out of character, and was called on it (I was nice and lacked my usual dry humor, totally outta character). My response was “I’m trying something new.” My friend said it wasn’t even New Year’s yet, I had a few more week for my ‘old ways.’ I told…
