Day 159: Limitations

Hi again,
This post is for 2 days ago because I was unable to post.
I am choosing to try to be thankful for my limitations. This one isn't easy for me because my limitations cause me so much frustration so often. My back is still so weak and I have limitations with lifting and how long I can sit up for and be out and about. My one year old nephew is getting heavier to a point that it is very difficult for me to lift him and it makes me very frustrated. I am mentioning this only to help you understand what I mean when I explain why I am thankful. My limitations remind me where I can improve because it isn't something that is permanent. They also help me to be thankful for stuff that I have trouble with (like lifting my nephew or other things that are too heavy currently) when I improve and can do it again. Before everything got really bad, I was very strong and I was so proud of that. Now after losing that strength, I can be thankful for that and when I gain it back I will be even more grateful for that ability. When I had to be in a wheel chair, it was a limitation that reminded me to be thankful for being able to walk. I find it easier to be thankful after I am no longer dealing with the limitation though. lol While I am unable to do something, it is very hard to be thankful but I am trying to look at it differently that I can become more aware of everything that I have. It also gives me a chance to improve and accomplish something because if I had no limitations then would I have anything to improve on? I think it also gives me the ability to build determination because I need that to improve and get past my limitations. So this is why I am thankful for limitations.
