. . . . . . The Final Anniversary

Today could have been the last Saturday before Christmas, as far as my schedule was concerned. I ran from appointment to appointment and place to place all day long. In a conversation with a friend at one of my appointments, I realized that today is the one-year anniversary of when I was released from the hospital! After 35 days in the hospital, 4+ weeks of spinal fluid leaks, 3 brain surgeries and countless shots, medications, IVs and headaches, I was able to return home and let the healing begin...
My body, mind and spirit have come a long way in the last year. I am not the sick, weak, feeble person I was. I am still getting stronger each day. Though I have not come "full circle", I continue to feel blessed for my life, for the miracles that mean I am still here and for a loving Father in Heaven who allowed me to come home to my husband and children for a while longer.

A year later, I am still learning and growing, while appreciating each new day!
