Something I learned



Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.  This is a very hard lesson to really learn and actively think about, especially when you are mentally struggling.  Through this whole UC ordeal, I have had to learn to appreciate the small things in my life, the small progresses, and the small things that truly make me happy.  I have to actively seek those things out each and every day in order to stay sane.  There were many days when I couldn't get out of bed.  When I couldn't see any good in anything.  With a large and amazing support team, I was able to pull myself out of that and now try to make an effort to find ONE good thing every day, even when I am not feeling good.  There have been days when I just hate the world and then for even a few seconds Manu will come lay in lap and it reminds me that things are really okay.  Here's a photo of how it is the small things and those simple moments that are priceless.

I know I have posted as a life lesson of the day in a previous blog that you have to enjoy and appreciate the small successes.  It is the addition of all of those small successes that will help you reach you big goal.  My big goal was to get my health back.  While I am not there 100% yet, every day is getting a little better which means I am one step closer to reaching that goal.  I have a lot of work that still needs to be done, but through it all, I am a fighter and I am stronger than I ever imagined I could be.  I will not fail.  Not again.
