Start of a new week.

The other night Kyle and I were just talking, and I really came to realize something. And I know I already knew it, but it hit home. No matter what it is, whether it's a trial, a school assignment, work project, finals, or even a race, you never know what you can actually do until you're faced with it. So many times I remember looking at a task and thinking "how am I going to do it," but every time, I do it. I fully believe the mind, body, and spirit are stronger than we know and I can attest to that. I've seen my body run farther, faster, and stronger than I ever thought I could, and I've gotten through situations before I didn't think I could make it through before.

I didn't just wake up one morning and say, I can help my husband fight cancer for 6 months, but one day I think we'll look back and realize how it made us stronger. And then conquer the next mountain.

Pardon the self-motivating speech.

Anyways, wanna know what we did today? We woke up around 8am. Rounds at 9:30. Kyle got chemo in his spine around 1pm. I got some Subway for lunch and a half baked cookie to go with it. Watched Rick Santorum back out. I left the hospital for a little bit and on my way home made a pit stop at the UAB Rec center hoping to get in a quick jog and a swim. I was pouring rain and the pool was closed bc of lightening. Yes, an indoor pool. Weird. So I ran 2 miles and did spin in my swimsuit. It didn't matter bc it felt so good. Went home and showered. Ran to Longhorn and picked up dinner bc Kyle needs steak. And I need their bread. It's a win win.

Good day.

  1. I love this. We are stronger than our challenges! It's like that last little bit of a race, when you think, "If I can just hold on for a little bit longer, this will all be worth it." Life is a lot like that. Some ups and downs and times when you just hold on because you know whatever is around the corner will be worth it.

  2. There's a saying my dad likes to pass on to me "this too shall pass." No matter how bad (or good) life is, change is always right around the corner. Stay tough!
