There is much that is wonderful... being a parent is amazing. Our little girl is growing and thriving and we are so happy and grateful for her presence in our life. I'm enjoying a summer that has been full of good interactions with family, friends, and loved ones. It's terrific to look back and realize that even a bad day now is better than a good day last fall. Of course it's not perfect, there are still days that carry discouragement and I still have many questions, but recently I've enjoyed being able to not obsess over that discouragement, those questions, and yes, that depression that was overwhelming a year ago.
Some things still remain a challenge. Finances are especially tight right now, and I'm not sure how that's going to work it's way out. There are still people who are hard to understand and harder to put up with. And I still often expect others to empty the glass, instead of helping me to see the half glass that is there.
But we're still going, still hanging on, and I'm so glad life is challenging. It's much more interesting that way.
