ON THIS DAY

"ON THIS DAY, six years ago..."

This is how a conversation started with the CHEERLEADER this morning.  She went on to remind me that on May 17, 2011, she had surgery to replace her left hip.  

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT!   

She will tell you that now, she's a "Hip Chick!" (honestly, that Chick is AMAZING!)

This conversation got me thinking about my facebook timeline and the feature that comes up, "On this day."  It shows what you posted "ON THIS DAY" in the past.  Here's what it showed for May 17:

• 2016
• I posted a graphic stating I was signed up and running the Memphis Marathon as a St. Jude Hero and asked others to join me
• 2014
• Posted a pic with my niece Kelsey's 2 sons, Kyler and Karter, as they were here for my son Luke's high school graduation party.
• Also, on this day....I posted a couple pics of the CHEERLEADER replacing the outdoor light by our garage.  I said, "Bobbette the Builder!"
• 2013
• I became FB friends with one of my neighbor
• Did a crazy TapOutXT workout AFTER I went out and ran 3.12 miles with a 8:21 per mile pace (that was a GREAT reminder that I need to get back to that speed)
• Posted a graphic that said, "Losers quit when they fail.  Winners fail until they succeed." 
• 2010
• Just a post that said, "Back home after many weeks of travel....there's no place like home." 

WOW...I remember most of these entries.  AND this got me thinking about TODAY.

What am I doing today that will show up on my "ON THIS DAY" in the future.  I'm not just talking about the FB feature, but my "life" timeline.  

What IMPACT did I make today?

Did I make an IMPACT today?
