The Possible Impossible

I wouldn’t say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.  - Michael Phelps

Sitting in the midst of my self loathing, shame, and low self esteem 6 months ago I would have told you that it would have been impossible for me to lose 60 pounds in 5 months.  I would have told you that it would impossible for me to feel better, for my knees not to hurt, and that I would never be able to walk up stairs without holding on to the handrails.  I also would have told you that it would be impossible for me to ever fit in to a wedding dress let alone look pretty in it.

All of my impossibles are being not just possible but real.  I walked up a flight of stairs without using the handrails yesterday.  It can only mean that my knees are feeling better and getting stronger.  I have a wedding dress that looks better and better every time I put it on.  I have lost 60 pounds.  I have a new definition of impossible.  It just means I need to work at it and make it my possible.

The journey goes on and every day is a new day to find my next impossible and to crush it.
