Good evening Fitness South family and friends. I wanted to share with you a special eye-opening moment I had today during my nursing clinical. As I was leaving the hospital today it occurred to me…I can walk, bathe myself, feed myself, go to the bathroom when I need to, and drive myself back and forth to wherever it is I want to go. Not everyone can do that. We take for granted all of the basic things we do each day and never stop and think that there are some people out there that would be so happy if only they could walk across the room, let alone walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes. It is human nature to want what we can’t or don’t have and to not appreciate the amazing things that we already have. As I left that hospital today and told my patient bye it really hit me hard that I bet that person would give ANYTHING to be able to get up and walk out of that hospital; but he can’t. He can’t even do the basic necessities of life. I challenge you my friends and family, when you feel like you don’t have the energy to take one more step think about the ones that don’t get the choice to take a step. Please don’t take for granted the blessings that you already have…put them to good use. Take care of your health while you can because one day you may not be able to go run on the treadmill or lift that iron weight. Do it while you can. Life is too short.
