Hello Out there!
What a wonderful Wednesday! The Sun was shinning so bright this morning and part of the afternoon! I love my sun!!! I went to Physical Therapy today and it was so great! I walked two laps with the walker and 2 laps holding on to Tom- He is such a good therapist, strong and I feel safe walking without my walker with him. I was excited to try without my walker. I got on the bike and did the balance board. Just makes me feel good to challenge myself, and when I can do something new it just is like a glorious thing! If I could jump- I would jump up and down in excitement! I want to get a balance board and parallel bars to hold onto for home- I am working on that! Soon I will have a gym in the house, lol… We do have one out back a huge work out room with weight equipment- my husband used to body build and years ago he would compete! :0) I love a man with a beautiful physique! :0) I am grinning right now! I have a stationary bike – I got it for Christmas and I love it! The balance board works on your core- I think it is the easiest way to strengthen those muscles! My own opinion of course as I am far from knowing a lot about all that kind of stuff. I came home around 12:30 and made a huge salad for lunch. Lettuce, spinach, carrots, purple cabbage, sunflower seeds, beets, 1/2 hard boiled egg croutons and black beans with a little southwest dressing! It was absolutely delicious! For a drink I had 1 glass of organic Limeade and water. So yummy and I feel good! Last night I made homemade Juice, Carrot and Celery Jc.- It was so good! You all must try it if You can! My nutritionist Mary says Fresh veggie jc. gives her energy!!! I need THAT- ENERGY bring it on. You know I am tired a lot and more times then none do not rest! I have to start to listen to my body though because I don’t want to continue over doing it! I have to give in sometimes I think! I don’t want to fail and the amazing strides I have taken! It is so important! I mean listen I have been healing for about 8 months now or longer I think. It’s slow going but hey it’s a brain injury and I think I am doing amazing so far and will continue to heal everyday! I feel I have jumped so a head these past couple of months!! This makes me so HAPPY!!!! If any of you have been in any situations like this you will totally get it! Struggles are soo hard but when you start to think differently about them and start making it a head you are exhilarated beyond belief. If you aren’t quite there yet, give it time and maybe a lot of time. Don’t give up on YOU! I won’t give up on you… Ever…. Not Ever…. Feel free to reach out to me here and lets chat! It’s all about helping one another get through tough stuff, right? If you have a positive word just share it! This world needs more and more helpers, am I right? So I’m not sure I mentioned before that I am thinking about starting a support group as well as the dance group for anyone with limitation in a wheelchair and or a walker, cane etc. I know I have talked about this before, but you might not have seen that blog. So my brain is trying to come up with ways to encourage others and inspire others who are having a rough time out there! To see someone smile because they are having fun brings me such joy! I feel that the good lord works in mysterious ways and here I am living proof everyday! And you are living proof too if you are struggling or not! Hey, be the change that you wish to see in the world!! One this note I will end this blog for today!
One good thing that happened today? I walked an huge lap with out my walker holding on to the big guy but I still DID IT!!!! 🙂
Good night friends and remember, I love You!!!!
