Overwhelmed, excited, determined, scared, amazed, humbled...
The list goes on and on and the emotions are running high today.
This morning as I sit here trying to get some work done I received a text from Brianna. Both of my girls have introduced me to this app called Time Hop. Apparently what it does is take you back to a previous time on your social media and let's you know what happened in your life a year from now or two years or 3 years- so on and so forth.
Bri's time hop from this exact day 1 year ago looks something like this:

| Imagine my reaction...tears streaming down my face. |
A year ago today, I honestly thought my CF career was over. I was out of the game and didn't have a clue what my future held. My only goal at this time was to be able to move my arm again and to sleep through the night without pain. Lofty goals right?
What I learned last year was that you need to take one day at a time. Sometimes one hour. Sometimes one minute. Sometimes one second. When you're faced with a situation that takes you to a place you don't want to be...you learn quickly to be thankful for each and every step of the journey.
I had a lot of people rallying around me last year and through the expertise of my doctors, Dr. Angela who reacted immediately and Dr. Leffler who specialized in nerve damage I was soon back on my feet. But even standing on my own two feet I faced trials in the gym like never before.
I've worked hard this past year. Each day, each moment with one eye on my goals for the open. With the support I received from Jim, my family and my fellow competitors each and every day - I am where I am today!
Better.
Better than yesterday.
Isn't that what it's all about?
About 15 minutes after I received this from Bri...I received another text, this time from Brooke. It simply stated "Ummm you should re check the central east leaderboard." So I did, and this is what I found:

| Tied for FIRST in the Central East! |
Three WOD's down and three to go.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
I love my God. I love my husband. I love my kids Brandon, Bri, Brooke, Gage and Gabby. I love each and every one of you.
3,2,1 GO.
The best way to start everyday is with a spirit of gratitude. And this my love is a prime example of humility, gratefulness, and love. We are all behind you.
