Today is the first day of the rest of my life, but so is every day you wake up.
I wasn't sure I would be greeting the year 2018...
And no I am not being dramatic just brutally honest...
There will be no New Year's Resolutions I refuse to set myself up for failure or defeat.
I will continue working on the CookieHappierLifeChallenge...
It was funny when I began calling it that, I thought it was clever, but let me tell you it is one of the hardest challenges I have ever done in my life, and at times it doesn't feel worth it... because to myself I don't feel worth it.
Today has been a day of pure emotions and accomplishments I was finally able to post Mr. Trask on the Faces of AS today as number 1858. I chose this number because he is the first written documented case of Ankylosing Spondylitis in the USA and I have waited for 6 years, 4 months and 24 days to share his story on my site.
His story is such an amazing testament of courage and grace in dealing with such a horrific disease during a time that allowed you no relief but pure determination to continue on. It was a major milestone for me and such a blessed way to start my year.
Today was the perfect day to share his story with the world because he is going to remind me every day that I simply want to live my life, one day at a time, one experience at a time and one blessing at a time.
I am not going to bring the past into my new day, and I am not going to worry about tomorrow today...
I am going to live for today, be present in my own life, do the best I can do and be the best me I can be for today...
If I fail I will forgive myself and find the courage to continue to work on being the best me.. I can be.
Today I am grateful that I am here to see the 2018 and my family is here with me....
