Things You Thought You Could Never Do

Prompt: Things you have done that you thought you could never do.

Worked in Nursing Homes and now mental health. It is hard work, working in Nursing Homes and mental health is trying at times. I do it. Sometimes we surprise ourselves about jobs we do.

Writing and publishing two books. I always wanted to write and publish a book but didn't know that I could do it but I did.

Having extensive bowel and hernia surgery, being on a breathing tube for 5 days afterwards and having to learn to walk again and being on a wound vac. When I woke up from surgery, I didn't think I would ever function again. I didn't want to be an invalid so with the help of therapists, I endured it. I did survive and get back to normal.

Two years of Junior College. I studied and passed all the required classes and got an Associates Of Arts Degree.

Surviving a house fire. I didn't know how my husband and I were going to start over. It was hard picking up the pieces and starting over but we did.

There you have it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
