I am really proud of myself today! After months of practice and many unsuccessful attempts, I finally walked across the balance beam without falling off! It was only for a very short distance, maybe 30 seconds at the most. But, this was HUGE for me since not too long ago I couldn’t even stand up, let alone walk or balance. Over the past nine months, I’ve learned to celebrate and hold onto wins like these, especially on days when I am feeling pretty defeated.

A year ago, in my wildest dreams, I never could have predicted the unexpected turn (or should I say fall) 2018 would have in store for me. In literally one quick second, everything changed. I had a bad accident. In my case, I fell out of a moving golf cart, shattering my right leg and ankle. This resulted in excruciating pain, major surgery and required 14 pieces of metal - rods, plates and screws - to put me back together. Crazy. Unexpected. True. I have been out of commission and on the road to recovery for six months (so far) and I’ve been told it will be at least another six to go before I am back to my old self. “Catastrophic” is how my doctor referred to it. Just in case you are wondering, I was not drunk. And for the record, I don’t play or even like golf.

Some people can’t function without caffeine. Not me! Water is what gets me going and helps me through my day! For as long as I can remember, I drink a huge glass of water every morning right when I wake up. And I continue to drink water at every meal and throughout the day. My body seriously can’t function without it—ice water, hot water with lemon, bottled water, filtered water, seltzer water.

There is nothing that says Fall like apples. And there is nothing that I love to eat more than my mom’s homeade apple crisp. It is easy to prepare, delicious, and a crowd pleaser. I’ve made her recipe for years, but when I recently looked at the recipe again to make it, I realized why it is so good and crack-like addictive-It is LOADED with sugar, white flour and butter. YIKES!
