The Gift

I remember going for my license and the proctor told me that it wasn't a right, but a privilege to operate a vehicle. Forgetting that what we are capable of is a gift, we lose touch with who we are. Every day I try to keep my gift alive. I know that at some point it will all end, but it will be on my terms. Everyday I am capable of doing something that others can't. This is not an arrogant statement, rather a declaration of appreciation. I've been given the opportunity to achieve some amazing things. I've also had the opportunity to be inspired by some amazing people. At this point I know what I can and cannot achieve. I named the blog "One Foot After the Other" because its about taking time to understand every step. It's simple yet most times we want to run to our destination. Every day is a day to be grateful. I've been taking some time off but I feel that I should cut back on the off time. I need to get back in it if I will compete by Dec/Jan. We will see how all of this pans out this time next year.
