For all of you that do not know me. I want to tell you a little about the last 5 years of my life. Let me just start with I have always had low self esteem. There have been really hard times in my life. My mom was a single parent and it goes on from there. I finally meet my soul mate and had a family. I am suppose to be the happiest girl in the world right? Well I was lacking self worth!!!! Then a few years I decided to get in shape. I was up and down. I was so disappointed again in myself. I had problems with my feet. I was born with flat feet. I went and seen a doctor and he said he could correct it. I had my first surgery on my left foot. He broke my big toe added bone to my ankle and I have 3 titanium rods in my foot. He cut my Achilles tendon to give me more range of motion. It went down hill from there. 2 years on pain medication and off my feet. I gained a lot of weight from being inactive and was in deep depression. Then the next round of events came on Thanksgiving. I was hospitalized with a gallbladder attack and needed emergency surgery. I was still on crutches for my foot so that had to be pushed back until after the New Year. In the meantime I had to watch what I ate. Time passed and I had the surgery and my foot healed 80 % I still have pain in my foot and get cramps in the back of my leg. I do not think that will ever go away. Because of this I decided not to have the right foot done. This has left me with one flat foot and one with a semi arch. This I find challenging every day with exercise. I refuse to give up and I fight for my goals daily. I will not  let this get in the way of my hopes and dreams. Along the way I have lost 3 family members and this year we found out my father in law has Lou Gehrig’s disease. Every day he loses more motor skills and it is so heart breaking to see. For me I can make a choice I can be depressed and say I have been dealt a bad hand in life. I have chosen to rise above and find the courage to love myself so that I can give the best me to others. I had hardship in my life but it has made me that much stronger as a person. I watch my father in laws life vanish away each day. I have always lived life to the fullest. At least I thought I was. Not until I saw how fast ones life can change in a moment without warning. Today and for the rest of my life I am going to be grateful for the gift of life. I am Going to LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!!! Finally I get it……….. It took me 38 yrs. Life is a lesson and I am learning every day.

Live everyday as if it were your last.
