perspective

. . .sometimes that mountain you've
been climbing is just a grain of sand. . .

my lil' sis posted this on her facebook the other day and it really struck me. just a grain of sand. maybe it should be my mantra when I feel like things are too much for me to handle. because lately things have been hard. this whole foot drop thing is taking me to the edge on a daily basis, it seems. but I must remember in the grand scheme of things this is just a grain of sand. it could be a lot bigger. a lot worse. it could be a mountain.

and anyway, if there is one thing I've learned in my life, and must remember now, is that for every mountain there is a miracle and I am stronger than I know.


this is my miracle.

You guys look so cute. Really, having a baby is a miracle, isn't it? It's so strange to think that someone is living inside you and you are sharing your body with him or her. I need to learn how to be strong like you!!

This have been lots of marathons where you've run through the pain. You'll do it this time, too. We're sending lots of love and prayers.

Your post makes me cry! You have great perspective. I knew you were strong physically, but now we're seeing your inner strength. Love you.
