August starts tomorrow. For me, August holds some painful memories. And August is just the beginning of a whole slew of months with painful memories. So, today, as July wraps up, I wanted to honor both my struggles and my choices to deeply value and use them with a simple thought. . .
“You do not get a choice for struggle, but you do get a choice for how it changes you.”

This Day in 2018:
Tired.
This is hard.
Survivable. Maybe even thrive-able. But painfully hard.
This Day in 2019:
More yes-es
I was brought to tears today…. I was sitting by the lake, watching my husband and girls and nieces and nephews and sisters and brothers in law all play in the water and I was on cloud nine. I want more of this in my life….more yes-es to campfires and s’mores and waterskiing and sunshine and pontoons and laughter and cooking for 20 and 2-week long vacations and frisbee and sitting around talking and walking to the end of the dock…..
More yes-es to a slow down of time and a living full of every second.
I asked God for more of this and to help me remain committed to living this way. Forever.
