Winning is about seeing those around you come to l Winning is about seeing those around you come to life in a few sentences, it’s about seeing the shock then delayed joy on a strangers face when you give them a big fat smile! Winning is about bringing light and rest to people’s lives through simple kindness, not negativity or dullness. . . . . . Who can you encourage, build up, teach or train this week? Who can you give a moment or an afternoon of your precious time? Sometimes it only takes a short conversation, a text, a moment of understanding, a hug, a listening ear and a confirmation that they are, in fact, not alone…a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle! #youmatter, #togetherwecan #makeadifference, #reclaimingmylife, #weeklymotivation, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #autoimmunewarrior, #onedayatatime, #smile, #samehere🤙, #wlstories, #swim, #fitover55, (excerpt from Lucy West)

Reclaiming our lives comes in different ways for d Reclaiming our lives comes in different ways for different people. This is my sister, @mary.maggi. Born three months early in the 1950s, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She did just about everything we did though, swam, rode bikes, Girl Scouts, got married, had children, and is now a Grandma. One year ago she woke up with one leg three times the size of the other. Because of the quick action of her and her husband and remarkable doctors, she lived! Hallelujah. Something like that jolts you however. Several months later a WCW (now WWE) wrestler came into her life. If you know my story, you may remember my post “everyone needs a Ryan.” @diamonddallaspage is that for my sister. 6 months ago she started DDP chair yoga. The changes in her life have been nothing short of miraculous. Sometimes when you are the one changing, you don’t see it. So it’s nice to have it pointed out to you. So Mary, here it is: 💪 You’ve lost 17 pounds 💪 Your mind is clearer 💪 You can get in and out of bed without assistance 💪You can get those dang compression socks on w/o assistance 💪You stood up perfectly straight for me and held your balance w/o your crutches 💪You walked outside barefoot 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 I see the changes and am so proud of you! To my followers: We’ve all heard the phrase “Use it or lose it.” I had kind of lost it because of all the RA pain, but I’m on my own journey again with Kyle, and the non-scale victories are huge. I always love to hear your victory stories, so feel free to share with me!

Day 3 - we figured out how to walk to the beach. Day 3 - we figured out how to walk to the beach. I reunited with my high school friends - who helped me through some of the tough times in life (my dads illness and death). I love these ladies! Life is good. #sanlorenzo, #rebels, #friendship, #beach, etc. etc.
Day Two of Sea-abilitation. Met a couple at break Day Two of Sea-abilitation. Met a couple at breakfast interested in a @tucsonrollingshutters patio shade. Exchanged info so we could help them.

It takes everything I’ve got to get down in a lu It takes everything I’ve got to get down in a lunge but I was able to sneak a quick smile in while my trainer @kylekellyfit was snapping a photo for me. Not so much on the other two photos. I like the contrast though. It shows you Instagram versus reality. This is not easy for me but it is very worth it. If you are local, I highly recommend training with Kyle and if you are interested in online training, he does that too.

Someone I love dearly is celebrating one year sobe Someone I love dearly is celebrating one year sober today! I am so incredibly proud of her! To say her entire life has shifted is an understatement! Way to go! My father was an alcoholic (quit before I was born though), his dad was an alcoholic, and his dad’s dad was an alcoholic. It can be a tough habit to break but I am forever thankful my dad quit before I was born. Here’s to sobriety! #reclaimingmylife, #gettinghealthy, #motivation, #progressnotperfection, #healthylifestyle, #health #wlstories, #nsv, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #reclaimingpatty, #slowandsteadywinstherace, #youmatter, #kindness, #pattysfreshperspective, #samehere, #onedayatatime

People are growing weary. I experience it every d People are growing weary. I experience it every day in our business. I offer this story today. Once upon a time, there was a girl who learned how to look at a different perspective. There was a man who people called a mad-man. She was surprised when he moved near her. He said, “I have a significant question, can you answer?” She nodded, in acceptance. He asked, “Am I a mad man?” No, she said hesitantly. “Thank you!”, he replied; “Just because I have a different perspective and I don’t see the world the way other people do, does that make me a mad man?” “No”, she answered again. He then picked a stick, wrote a “W” on the road, and asked her what he wrote. In a hurry to leave, she said “W”, but she was amazed when he replied to her answer. “You only see ‘W’, because of the angle at which you are looking at it. If you move to the opposite side and see it upside down, you will see “M”; If you move to the right side, it is “3”, and while looking at it from the left side, it is “E”. Just because I don’t see the world the way that everyone is seeing it, doesn’t make me a mad man” he said. Then he left. She pondered this and its application to life. We react, and associate to people, based on the perspective, the way we are looking at their situation. Have you ever paused and taken your time to look at all the other possible different perspectives? She then decided that before she gets angry with, or acts against, or judges anyone that has done something unfavorable to her, she will view it in at least three possible different perspectives; 1. her own perspective, 2. oppositions own perspective and 3. others perspective Moral of the story: Before you judge people, before you rage your anger on them, take a little time to view their angle or different perspective. Try to see all the different perspectives other than what you see. #bekind, #kindnessmatters, #youmatter, #patience, #longsuffering, #pattysfreshperspective, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #autoimmunewarrior, #samehere, #reclaimingpatty

I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. _🦋 Today I can complain because the weather is rainy, OR I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. _🦋Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money, OR I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. _🦋 Today I can grumble about my health, OR I can rejoice that I am alive. _🦋 Today I can whine because I have to go to work OR I can shout for joy because I have a job to do. _🦋 Today I can complain because I have to go to school, OR I can eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge. _🦋Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework, OR I can feel honored because I have shelter for my mind, body, and soul. _🦋Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have. _🦋Have a great day...unless you have other plans? #attitude, #reclaimingpatty, #reclaimingmylife, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #youmatter, #fabfriday, #encouragement, #wlstories, #samehere, #mesafitnessclifton, #fitover55, #thankfulness
After two years ➕of not being able to hold a wei After two years ➕of not being able to hold a weight with my right hand, I am back at it thanks to Humira and my doctor/life coach @drlizrook. I’m taking it slow (2x a week) with a trainer @kylekellyfit. But it really feels great to be back at it. Work (since 2020) has exploded which is a good thing, but it’s taken me some time to rebuild or build new habits and still maintain our business. But I’m figuring it out. Swimming will be the next habit I’ll be working on getting back in the schedule! Slow and steady has always been my motto!
