Around This Time

Around this time last year, we had our first ever broken bone! It should’ve been our tip off that the year was going to be full of unexpected things.

It was during this stretch that I was in bananas-level pain. It was a ROUGH start to 2020, and when we were finally in the clear, I felt like we could finally breathe. It was going to be the BEST year!

Unfortunately, you probably noticed, there was a pandemic. But fortunately, we did end up having a pretty great year in many ways. NO regrets.

This year is starting in its own rocky way, with Brady’s pain continuing and his condition deteriorating. I’ll update you on him on Tuesday. But my goodness, we are OVER it. I won’t get too ranty just yet, but know we have reached a point of feeling somewhat hopeless. There are moments of “Its going to be ok, this is temporary” but there are a few more frustrated, discouraged moments than I care to admit.

Once this is behind us, will we breathe? Or will we keep our jaws clenched, and grin and bear it? Will we rest, or will we overcome? Can a person do both?

Last year I talked about glory-strength. Maybe I need to focus on that again.
