Positivity…

With everything going on in the world today it has been hard to find the positives. The things to look forward too.

Having two major surgeries in two years has taken a toll on me. Emotionally, mentally, and definitely physically. My positive is it’s fixed. I can walk again without help. I can sit and stand. Put socks on my feet again. Get in and out of bed without constant pain.

I cannot tell you how hard the daily struggle was just to get up in the morning. Chronic pain for almost ten years. No doctor would do anything cause I was too young. It was insane. Yet here I am, whole again (abet mechanical parts lol!)

For me the hardest part was not the surgery. It has been the retraining of myself, my thoughts, my actions, believing I can. I walked on the beach for the first time in 10 years. I had forgotten what that felt like. The roar of the ocean and the whine of the seagull. It was literal magic. It meant everything.

There is so much positivity in the simplest things. The tiny sounds. The small steps literally. It has been an uphill battle for me in every way. Yet I’m coming out of it whole, happy, and grateful.

That is all I have for today friends! Writing and life are a work in progress…(just like me)😉
