There Is A Lot To Smile About

February 7th, 2012

The past few weeks have been fairly uneventful. I have just been surfing, training, sleeping and eating. It’s been a good routine. Just trying to get my body back into shape and stay healthy. My staph came back :( or maybe it never went away so I am back on antibiotics and cruising for a few more days. It’s pretty frustrating. I had to go back to the doctors the other day to get it sliced open. I am horrified of doctors, needles, knives, the whole ordeal was traumatizing. I have been trying my best to stay strong and not freak out. I realize that staph is quite common and there are so many people in this world with worst things going on. At the same time I think it’s okay to let yourself feel bad and admit it kind of sucks for a little while, then pick yourself up and move on. I was working out with my trainer the other day and just got to that breaking point where I started crying. It felt really good. I have been so angry at my body for not cooperating with me that maybe those negative feelings are keeping me in this cycle of not getting better. My body has allowed me to do some amazing things. Win a world title, love those around me and enjoy the world each and every day. I should be thanking it instead of being so down on myself. On a happier note, I have been having some really fun surf sessions, watched HALF of the superbowl this past sunday, dyed my hair dark brown, had a lunch date with my mom and little cousin, saw a scary movie, and have been skyping with my boyfriend:) haha There is a lot to smile about…
