Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Day 340: Last Year

At this time tonight, one year ago, I was in the worst situation of my life. I was in a hospital being evaluated. Doctors were deciding if I need additional support to make it through the crisis I was experiencing. Those are all fancy words to say other people were fighting for my life; I had given up. 

In some ways I can't believe it's been a year. Some days it feels like all that happened yesterday. There are other days when I look at how far I've come and I can't believe it's only been one year. 

Tonight I am grateful for everyone who fought for me a year ago. Some were people who knew me and loved me; others were professionals that had only just learned my name. I was scared, exhausted, and couldn't see past myself. Tonight I am grateful for every breath, every heartbeat, every laugh, every tear, every thing I've experienced since last year.
