Three years ago today I sat in the same spot wondering when I would get to snowboard again. Of coarse I knew the answer would be when I recovered from ACL surgery. The first time was harder than the second time which happened a month ( 7 days in my season..if that ) after I was given the go ahead to shred it again.My dad is going through this stage right now. The questions and head games begin. Will it ever be the same? If I did it this way then maybe none of this ever would of happened and I'd be here do something else instead.
I'm a big believer that no matter what things happen for a reason. Until a mad scientist with an 84 Delorean comes into the picture. Then again I've always been too much of a positive thinker sometimes. What happens makes us who we are and tests us to be the best people. To me every surgery to a simple fall is a chance to get back up and go out and be the best version of me that I can be.
At times I ponder of how things could have been, but along my falls I've met some great people while I was getting up. I'm sure everyone is feeling a bit of strain with the times we're going through as a country and world. Take it as an opportunity to reach out to someone know or unknown to you. I know I couldn't have made it through with out the awesome people around me. Life is a test go out and be the best.
