Day #4 - I Has Cold....BUT WHO CARES!!!

     So I woke up at my now start-of-the-day time of 7:50 am to being barely able to breathe...so uncool. I must have caught the sniffles or a cold. At first I laid there...till about noon-ish feeling defeated. I'm thinking "Dammit! I JUST started this program of change and what happens 4 days into it?! I GET SICK...I call bullshit!!" so yeah for about 4 hours I was a mopey little bitchnugget. Then something popped into my head that inspired me to rise to the occasion , fight through the sickness and do the things I need to do to continue on this path of regaining my self worth : My mother.
   I think most of us can agree...our mothers went through some stuff when we were young. Having to work through probably being 3 times as sick to support us while we lived our carefree lives is truly a feat. I can remember right off the top of my head maybe 100 times my mother was hospital grade sick AND still went to work AND cleaned the house AND put food on the table.... and yet I had the nerve to complain about the most trivial of things. I mean of course I was a child back then but still, looking back I see the strength that she had - so having a simple cold or stuffy nose or headache is no excuse to me. From now on I'm going to adopt that mindset anytime I feel I'm too rundown or too blah to push through.
    Once I tapped into that part of myself I went through my day as if I wasn't sick at all! Mind you I'm still stuffed up and my throat is a little hoarse, but man I'm SOOOO glad I worked out and did the things I needed to do. Its a great feeling of accomplishment when you battle through things you initially think is too much, and then you realize it was nothing at all. We all have that inner strength to overcome any obstacle in our path, no matter how large or small. Once you realize that - then everything is a piece of cake, and nothing is out of reach.


Oh yeah....4 days cigarette free. Dig on that!


Off to make dinner for myself and my inspiration of a mother.


Moral of the day : If there's an obstacle in front of you, climb it - kick it - burn it - judo chop that bitch down...just push through ...and trust me you'll make it out ok :)
