The Winds of Change are blowing strong in our lives right now. For the past 11 years of our marriage, we have grown and learned a lot. This year, it feels like the Lord decided to step it up a notch. I'm not sure why.
Perhaps it's because last year we conquered a big challenge in our lives - my long struggle with postpartum depression. It's refreshing to say I no longer have that monkey on my back. I feel lighter and refreshed because of it. I also feel stronger and more wise. I suppose by having the arrogance to admit that out loud, the Lord has seen fit to bless us with more change!
So onward we go, just placing one foot in front of the other and taking things as they come. I'm sure eventually I will blog about all of these changes, but right now some of them are still sinking in and others are lurking on the horizon.
I take comfort in the thought that all of the changes going on are simply the result of living a mortal existence, and not the result of personal choices we have made. Why is this comforting to me? Because it means I didn't make a bad choice!!! (Have I mentioned I'm indecisive? Maybe I shouldn't tell you that. . . maybe I should. . .)
So how am I dealing?

Cute post. Chocolate and cute kids are the best stand-by's.
Loved the baby mermaid then and now in the pic! Good times, want to go to the beach after school this week? It is going to be hot and would be fun!
Isn't change amazing when you are looking backwards? Chocolate and cute kids help get us through those those hard times. Sometimes, just hanging on is the only thing you can do. Remember, we all go through these trials, no one is exempt, I love you, you are a special daughter and wife and mom!
