Push Yourself!

5 years ago I was in the ICU with congestive heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure. I have knee problems, back problems, and a disability that forces me to use a walker some days.

But today? Today I did 6.6 miles on the elliptical at a 9:35 pace. That may not be very fast for a lot of people, but that is a huge deal for me!

There are a lot of times in life where we just have to push ourselves. There are some days that, despite our best intentions, we can't. Some days we are overwhelmed by our lives and it is okay not to just push through it every single day. But on the days we can? Go for it! Push yourself! It's something to be proud of.

Sometimes our dreams look pretty silly on paper, but you have to remember: People have doing the impossible for centuries!
