it looks a LOT different than my "old" normal.
it's definitely not all bad ... it's just new. it's just different.
i think i see life a little differently.
i think i am more cynical. less trusting.
sometimes i feel my skin getting thicker and walls getting taller.
a new normal means 2 birthday celebrations.
a new normal means 2 Christmas celebrations.
it works. its different.
it has changed the way i look at my kids.
wanting them to know that they are "safe".
perhaps longing for the security that is now absent from a life i once knew.
answering questions that i wish i didn't have to answer.
explaining things that shouldn't have to be told to their young hearts.
strengthened relationships... that's good.
addressing real. hard. life. with my husband -- that's great.
relying on God and my faith -- that's what it's all about.
A new normal? Yes.
A bad normal? Not really.
A promise of God's hand in my future. Absolutely.

So glad you have been able to come out on the other side with some really good perspective. You aren't alone in your feelings/experiences. You are loved and beautiful. So proud to call you my friend.

I admire your ability to see through the dark and into the light!
Philippians 4:11-13. Well done. Stay encouraged. You're not walking alone.
