Step number 7,322

When I think back to how naive I was, 17 years ago and just so young , I realize it's nothing short of a miracle that I've raised such a beautiful young man. I mean I set out to do it by myself. I wasn't sure how it was supposed to be done. I was previously a self-sabotaging substance abuser! But the moment I found out I was pregnant, that I would be a mother, I knew things had to be different. I was being given this opportunity to just simply do things right. I couldn't waste it. But where would I start?

Recently, I decided to join the Fitbit Nation. And these are my ramblings as I walk. Somebody decided that 10000 steps was indicative of good physical health. I'm thinking of it now as more of an emotional Journey;  a walk to gratitude. It's these thoughts that consume me as I count my steps. As I journey throughout the day it would be step number 7,322 when I reflected on how much I love my 17 year old, young man.
