No arms, no legs, no worries!!!!!!

Feeling Down?

I have had so many doctors appointments, hand therapy appointments, physio appointments, orthotics appointments in the last couple of weeks that I seem to becoming so focused on being sick and what I can't do and have lost sight of what I do have and what I can do!  

I work at a RC Boys school and this week we have had Wider Horizons week which is like an enrichment week doing activities like Outdoor Activity Centres and Extreme Sports. I have really enjoyed my time out of school and was quite disappointed this morning  when I was told I am actually staying in school and someone else was going out to the Skiing in Hemel Hempstead.  Little did I know that the universe had a plan for me to be in Mr G's (Josh) Fix Up motivational class.

This man is incredible, the boys that are known to be problem lads were fully engaged in what he was saying and to be honest he had me fully attentive and lapping up all his positivity.  I am naturally negative but am fully aware of this and make a huge effort to be positive in my thinking and actions.  I noticed today that I have become so focused on all the things I can no longer do since my osteo-arthritis has been confirmed that I have lost sight of all the things I am able to do. 

this video was truly inspirational and I have to share it with all of you as there should be no excuse for anything.  If we can dream it, we can do it!

I am inspired to believe in myself and what I still have to achieve in life.  I am inspired to listen to my body and rest when I need to rest.  I am inspired to not see this as a negative but as a positive.  I am INSPIRED!!!!!!!
