1/4
It seems like just a little bit. A quarter. Not much really. 25 cents. 4 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup. And really, if someone told you you had to walk a quarter mile, you probably wouldn’t sweat it. 1/4 inch seams are small and neat, essential for being a good quilter.
But, on Monday, 1/4 was incredibly important. Life changing.
On Monday, I swam a quarter mile. I SWAM A QUARTER FREAKING MILE!!!! It has been a year since the surgery, and 2 and a half years since I was told I would never swim again. I felt an incredible sense of relief and elation and praised God for this wonderful milestone in my recovery.
I now, for the first time, have renewed hope that I can do another triathlon, but also that I can live my life without the fear of dislocation.
