My Mirror-acle!

Victory Moment!!  
This has been my biggest moment so far!  Today I decided to push myself again to see how my body would respond to some somewhat normal household chores. Deep cleaning has been an issue since I was first diagnosed with Mono.  A good thing about that would be I have learned to not stress as much about the things that I can't do, because truly, the needs of my family are more important.  But having said that, certain things still bother me from time to time because they are right in front of my face...like my bathroom mirror.  Since my diagnosis, this mirror has been cleaned only a handful of times (in 7 years), because the wiping motion and muscle use would have used up the precious little energy that I had for the entire day.  So, I have simply chosen to use that energy on the things that mattered the most for the day.  Well today was very different :)  I started off by washing some of the wood trim around my laundry room door, then moved to my bedroom door and finally to my bathroom door.  I proceeded to wash off my bathroom counter, the sinks and then the front of the cabinets.                 Finally I cleaned the mirror....

It wasn't until I finished the mirror and stepped back to look at it that it dawned on me all that I had just done.  Needless to say I was standing there is shock, and a bit teary, when my husband poked his head in the door.  He had been watching me and I think out of concern more than anything, asked me if I was okay. You see normally if I had attempted such chore conquering, it would have landed me in bed for the rest of the day and possibly the next, leaving him to take care of me and everything else.  All I could say to him was, "I cleaned the Mirror....I cleaned the Mirror!"  The coolest part?  Even though I was a bit winded, I was not tired!  My muscles felt like I had used them, but not like I had hurt them!  Just last month,  cleaning this mirror alone would have put me out of commission for the day.  Today however, it has become a defining moment of just how far I have come.  Praise the Lord for this Victory and for the overwhelming HOPE that I now feel for my future!   Empowered by Grace and fueled by the might 90!  So excited! :D
