One year

Today is one year since my cortisone shot that caused me not to be able to work anymore. Wow. One year. I still miss my coworkers a lot :( I still wish I was working, I wish I had a regular schedule. Most days I love my life, I love that I get to stay home, and keep our house clean for Jim, and make him dinner every night. I love that I get to do photo shoots, my passion in life is for photography. I have grown so much as a person, as a photographer, as a wife, and most of all as a child of God this past year. Most days I am more than ok with the life I have now, my new normal.

But other days, like today, when I realize I've been home a year. Been in this much pain for well over a year, and I just don't understand the point of this all. I have just been reminding myself I am breathing. I am making it. And I will continue to breathe, and continue to make it through this.

This will someday be a distant memory. And I very much look forward to those days. For now, I'm trying not to wish this time away. This time where Jim and I are setting the foundation for our marriage, and for the rest of our lives. This time where we are into our second year in our beautiful home. This time where we are both growing by leaps and bounds in our Faith. And I can't help but realize, despite the pain, despite the changes in the last year. Life. Is. Good.
