November 2018:
I am Thankful.
No matter how stressful or overwhelming my life may get, I know that I am incredibly fortunate.
I am blessed with…
Two beautiful, healthy babies.
One supportive husband.
A home with everything we need, in a wonderful community for my children to grow up in.
Two helpful, loving sides of the family.
A group of mama friends to share struggles and joys.
A job that allows me the flexibility to spend time with my family.
The ability and the freedom to be myself and do the things I enjoy.
A recent conversation with a coworker reminded me of one of my greatest blessings: my health.
She commented that she had been eating better and exercising more regularly, and then said, ‘I don’t LOVE it like you do Katie, but I’m getting there!’
Confession time: here’s the thing.
I didn’t always love it.
I didn’t always eat healthy.
I didn’t always exercise daily.
Taking care of myself wasn’t always a huge part of my life or a priority.
I MADE it be that way. I CHOSE to prioritize my health. And I choose this path each and every day.
You see, my husband has a terrible disease that indirectly affects our entire family.
Our life looks much different than many families we know.
My health is not a choice. It is a NECESSITY.
My family needs my strength. My family needs me to be healthy. My family needs me to take care of them.
My family needs ME.
So this Thanksgiving, and every other day…I am thankful.
I can give my family the healthy wife and mama that they deserve.
I am BLESSED to have the ability to take care of myself.
To have access to healthy foods.
To be physically able to move my body each and every day.
To have the space in my house for a home gym and benefit of home workout programs
To allow myself the time for self-care that I need.
My family is worth it.
