You would never think, until . . .

I have been thinking lately that you never really know what you can handle or what you think you can do until you just have to do it. I, like many people of my gender, have always been a bit squeemish around needles, injections, etc. So, giving my 18 month old son an injection every morning for his growth hormone (until he is 17 years old!) seemed like way too much - however, I'm the mom and I suppose that this falls into the job description so we just do it each morning. He cries, and I feel bad, but it doesn't stop me from just doing it. The same thing applies to a lot of things in life - I didn't think we could just start our own business from the ground up, but we did; I never thought I would be the type to have a dozen chickens in my backyard, but I do; I never thought I would have let a child throw-up on me, but I have . . . The list could go on and on, but the point is that we never really know what we are capable of until you just have to do it!
