My broken leg...and the road to recovery.

Well, as the year is wrapping up I am reflecting on this years challenges and successes so to start framing my goals and direction for 2012. Of course, I am hoping 2012 brings fewer challenges than I faced in 2011. When I was engaging in this process at this time last year, I never would have imagined I would face orthopedic surgery to mend a shattered tibial plateau (left leg for the non-scientists reading this). It has not been an easy road to recovery but looking back now I can certainly see the blessings. Without a doubt, I am a much stronger person because I overcame the great challenge a little bit at a time.

In conversation with my new friend, CJ Calvert, he shared with me this:

"The doors to success swing on the tiny hinges of daily discipline.The biggest challenges that we face are overcome with the smallest of daily actions.

For me, I was dedicated to consistent small efforts toward a full recovery and that has made a big difference in getting this far. 

So, resolve to be commited to something for 2012 and work at it a little bit at a time. You will be amazed how quickly you can overcome.

Happy New Year!
