For 2013: Step Out of the Comfort Zone

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt, Strenuous Life

My goal this year is to try new things and challenge myself to be greater than I have been.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my SparkPage, like a month ago. I don't update as often as I should. :) I hope you're doing well managing your injury. I deal with a lot of chronic pain too and sometimes it gets so frustrating. I love your T. Roosevelt quote. Take care!

I just wanted to say hi and tell you that even though I've been away from SP for the past several months (bogged down with work and stress) I am looking forward to ending the mighty-year-of-challenges that has plagued me this past year and start fresh soon... I may be still a bit scarce around here for the next little while but I did want to let you know that I've been thinking of you and hope you are doing well in life, in happiness, and in your journey.

We can't look back on the shoulda-woulda-coulda's, just do our best to live on what we've learned going forward. I lost 65lbs to go from being obese for most of my life to be healthy and have a chance of getting pregnant, and I sure as heck knew I didn't want to have to do that again!

Have a great weekend!
