One Year Ago Today

How can it be that one year ago today I fell and broke my wrist and began a long journey toward normalcy.  Why is it that time goes so fast when we look back but in the moment it's hard sometimes to think the present day will ever end.   

Thots that the past year have prompted:

  • I so appreciate all the parts of my body that function normally
  • I'm so grateful the accident happened on day 70 and not day 4 of our journey
  • I'm grateful for a husband who was attentive to all my needs
  • I learned to be able to ask for help
  • I discovered new joys of being able to do things for the first time...again...like blow drying my hair, hooking my bra, tying my shoes, lifting pots and pans, getting dressed and undressed, zipping my jacket, attaching Hank's collar and the list goes on..
  • That it's possible to live a joyous life even with chronic discomfort

So I am very glad it's been a year and I'm ok with all the learning experiences thus far...thank you very much!
