Yesterday when I got off work, I felt so empowered by my commitment to change. I felt like I needed to make it tangible, so I took a step. By taking a step I mean I went walking. After picking my daughter up from daycare, we headed to the park. Equipped with my walking shoes, bottled water, stroller and snacks for PeyPey I set out. As we walked I enjoyed the breeze. Peyton sipped on gatorade and ate goldfish snacks. We were almost done with the walk, or so I thought when I got a really bad migraine headache. I felt dizzy and couldn't see. There was no apparent place to stop and rest. Also just about this time Peyton got really fussy. She wanted to get out of the stroller and hold on to me. I kept saying Lord just let me make it to the car. I felt like I was going to die because my head would surely explode.
We finally made it to the car and I couldn't even drive. I sat there helpless for what seemed like an hour. I passed two of my church members in the car on the way out. Little did they know I was thinking, Never Would Have Made It, whew!
When I got home I slept for three hours. Peyton was running around doing God knows what. When I woke up she was still full of energy. She didn't go to sleep until midnight.
That first step was hard and the result unexpected but I look back on it today and think, that was yesterday. Remember, I'm forgetting the former.
