40 and still going

While hiking through the forest yesterday along the Marianne River, looking at nature and all its challenges, I overcame them with minor difficulty. I always thank God for helping me make the impossible possible. While sitting on a rock at the edge of the river, I realized something and asked myself how much more I can push myself, how much my body can take? How much is too much? I normally use the phrase '' It won't kill me to try, but it can if you are not careful...... Yesterday, my bag was packed with every possible medication required if anything was to go medically wrong with me, from diabetes medication, asthma pump, to Singulair to open my lungs in case of restriction, which I took in advance, and then some Neurobion Forte, which contains several B vitamins required for normal metabolic processes in the body, which in my case helps with nerve pain. I take the risk at times to keep myself active and to take control of my body I can't let my body over-rule my mind ....So I took the challenge and survived the rain in water-soaked clothes, my heart racing, me having to pull my own weight up at times and needed help on two occasions, from avoiding myself slipping of ledges into the river some time 10 -15 feet down, my lungs feeling at times as if it will burst... and with shoes water- soaked that crossed the river and after all that I plunged myself into the cold river water for a short swim. All this makes life awesome, exciting, and worth living. Truly, God has blessed me with a strong will, determination, and some craziness, and I won't trade that for anything! Not forgetting this morning, my legs were hurting from all the stretching and climbing, minor things, 40 and still going ‪#‎Fribrofighter‬
