Tomorrow is September 3rd and four months ago Sasha made her journey home to be with Heavenly Father. I miss her so much and I use her memory as strength to keep fighting just as she did. My children and I are separating from my husband. We are moving out and so I've had that stress as well.
Life keeps going and we must find the positive in such a negative world and I catch myself being caught up complaining instead of being grateful for what I have. I am here to say that I am grateful for my children they are my life. I am grateful for this body I have although I haven't always liked it or taken very good care of it. God gave me this body for a reason and I'm still learning to appreciate it. I'm thankful for my job, friends and co-workers for playing the role in my life that they do. I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father who loves me enough to be there for me and watch over my family even when we aren't as grateful as we should be.
Okay so I had a challenge the other day, I wanted to make a 5000 calorie burn on September 1st. I didn't make it although I came very close but I did learn something. I made the statement that "I failed" and was told that what I had achieved was far from failure. I thought, you know they are right I was looking at the glass being half empty because the first time attempting to reach a new goal I was unable to complete it. The point is I made the attempt and I learned from it. I know exactly what I have to do next time to reach that 5000 calorie burn in one day. Isn't that just like the rest of life? We are given challenges everyday, some are big and some are small but it's up to us to overcome them. Some of us are allowed more challenges than others and I believe it's because we are strong enough to overcome them. I already knew these things but in life we tend to forget the simple things.
