Reflection…One Year Later…GRATITUDE!!

June 1, 2020; today makes one year since my second hip replacement. June 15th will be 3 years since my first hip replacement and it’s nothing but GRATITUDE!  As I type this reflection I can’t help but think about the journey as a whole. I’ve been through A LOT; sometimes I can’t believe all of it is a part of my life. Most events seemed like something that I would watch in a movie, but I know this is the life I was given for a reason. I remember when talking about my journey was difficult; I’m grateful I have gotten to the point where I talk about it freely. My journey has helped many people get through trials within their lives, which means a lot because making a positive impact on others is something that’s very important to me.

 I know I use the word gratitude a lot, but that’s the word that describes my life. I realize that if God doesn’t do anything else for me he has already done enough. I was born premature, so I came into this world fighting for my life and ended up doing it again at the age of 19. That battle led to other trials that some do not make it through. This is why I do not take a second or day of life for granted; my outcome could’ve been totally different because many people have not made it through the battles I’ve experienced.

 I hope this reflection has encouraged you to continue pushing through whatever trial you are up against because once you get through it the feeling is an unexplainable one. But I challenge you to speak positively over the trial; share the trial while you’re going through it; and the outcome once you’re through it! I can promise I’ll continue this thing called life with gratitude and the drive to make an impact every change I get! I’M FOREVER ROOTING FOR YOU!
