You know when you get out of the habit of posting you then just don’t make time for it. It is just like journaling. I know I feel so much better when i write all my feelings and thoughts out I just have been wrapped up in life. It has been a very fun and full couple weeks. My little brother Kyle got married and we had a ton of b-days! It has been a whirlwind of parties and celebrations. As my birthday came around this year I had time to reflect how very different it was last year. Here was my post from my birthday last year:
I think they can track me now….
Port-a-Cath
Then we get to my wonderful Mother’s Day last year:
My special day
It is amazing how blessed I feel to not have been poked or pricked by needles the past 3 weeks. Just to be out running around and doing anything and everything with my kids. On my birthday I was able to go to Pump It up with my son and climb in and out of an obstacle course, up a big slide, and best of all watch his delight to have Mommy playing with him. It was a day full of fun with friends and family. Mother’s Day is perfect b.c nothing hurt! I feel wonderful and healthy and was able to just enjoy being spoiled by my hubby and boys.
Life is so precious and I’m so lucky to be alive! I’m thankful every day that this year is so different from last year and I’m hear to enjoy it. We have these amazing trials in life that can almost kill us. Then we survive and life just seems sweeter. I’m very lucky to have had the experience I have had. I am able to look at life so much differently and appreciate things so much more b/c of it. There really is something true about not knowing true joy until we have experienced pain. So if you are in the midst of a really hard trial just know in the end you will be so much stronger for it. Think of it as exercising: it’s hard and not fun (well for a lot of us), but the results in the end are worth it.
