I’m Blessed

I have been so sick of hearing myself talk about the accident, talk about the pain that it has been hard for me to talk or write.  It’s just annoying.  So I was very pleased to realize that twice last week I had a couple of hours in the morning when I had literally forgotten about the accident.  I had a couple of hours without medication, without pain, without stress.  We just went about normal life in our house until about 11am when the pain returned, bringing the stress back, and it all returned.

I’m so blessed that I had a few hours this last week of “normal.”  It gave me such hope.  I tried not to dwell on the fact that in order to achieve those few hours of normal, Knut was home with time off from work, I had about 5 hours of hired household help, and twice a week chiropractor appointments.  I feel like it takes too many people to put me back together.  On the other hand, I’m so blessed with the help I get.

Now to just get those normal mornings to be more frequent, and longer.  Then to get normal days without help.  It’s coming.  I’m relieved.  It gave me such hope.

Ingrid just learned how to wave.  It’s the cutest thing ever.  She is so pleased with herself.  She waves at people.  She waves at the dogs.  She waves at her toys.  She just stares at her waving hand.  The sheer delight in the simple things is one of the main reasons kids are so awesome.  I’m so blessed.

I’m blessed that my parents are coming at the end of the week.  I’m looking forward to so many aspects of their visit.

We’re blessed the bedroom renovation is “hopefully” nearing an end.  The insulation is in.  Now to just put the walls back together…

It’s going to be so exciting when that is done!

I’m blessed by the book I’m reading, “One Thousand Gifts” which seems so timely for me just now.  God is doing something in me now that is quite exciting.  This time of humbling has been so transformative, and amazing.  There is so much joy flooding on us right now.

I’m blessed.
