When I awakened this morning, it took longer than usual, for me to make my way into the bathroom. Due to the excruciating pain, I stayed longer in the shower than normal. As I winced in pain, I allowed the steaming, hot water to soothe my back. As I attempted to get dressed, I initially began to feel defeated. I wanted to give up. The pain was simply too much. Just as I was about to cancel my PT appointment, I decided to call my friend instead.
As soon as the conversation began, I knew that PT was the best thing for me. As we shared stories about our problems, we agreed that despite what was happening…death…jobs…pain…health… disappointments, there is still a reason to be thankful. As I continued to dress, I was determined to push through my pain, and have a great Thursday.
Now, as I travel back from my PT session, I begin to feel my pain ease a bit, and I am even more thankful. Not only am I thankful for the bare minimum of another day, I am thankful for the ability to push through all that life throws at me. As I reflect on my journey, it is clear that God, continues to make a way. For that, I am forever grateful.
On this fourth day of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, vow to see outside of every problem in your life, and find the beauty in the simple blessing of living. There, you will find your reason to be thankful. As we continue on our various journeys…healing..spiritual… growth…I am thankful in advance, for all that God will do in our lives. Stay encouraged, and be thankful, if only for another day.
