Breathing

I feel like I can breathe today.

It’s not much, but I’m beyond survival.

I am so thankful.

I am so thankful for a husband who is willing to drop everything and tell his boss and co-workers that his wife needs him…for the rest of the week. It’s one good thing about technology-based jobs. They can be portable when necessary.

I am so thankful for friends who will listen to me rant, and rave, and cry, and cry some more, and sob, and scream.

I am so thankful for those same friends who will pray, and pray, and pray, and pray, and when they don’t know how to pray, let the Holy Spirit do the praying for them. For me.

I am so thankful for family that is formed from more than blood. People who will stand for me, when I feel like I can not stand.

I am so thankful for motivation, as trivial as it may be, it is bringing SOME peace.

I am so so so thankful that God can use the worst of days for one child to bring about breakthrough and healing for another. Keep going. Keep going.

I am thankful for our home. For melting snow. For loving poochies and parrots.

And, God, my God, I can not express how thankful I am for you. I am trying. Thank you for holding on to me.

Breathing today. Maybe laughing will come tomorrow.

Blessings!

Hannah
