giving thanks...looking upward and onward.
happy thanksgiving, friends!
the past week i've been trying to nurse a sick little max back to his normal self. i tried a holistic dr for his cold this time around which has been interesting. last night i found myself covered in myrrh, yerba santa, chocolate, and puke. let's just say...max is not fond of liquid herbs.
it's been a draining experience, but this morning i woke up to a healthier son and the smell of pumpkin bread from my mom baking downstairs. i felt a little bit of peace for the first time in weeks.
i was going through old entries on here and found my thanksgiving post from last year. good grief. i had no idea at the time how much my thoughts and feelings would be tested. i've lost or left behind so much this past year. and while i do struggle with getting caught up in what i used to have, i am thankful. truly thankful.
max and i have somehow made it out of this mess in one piece, and with more love and new friendships than we started with.
i'm beyond grateful for the journey.
