And so we go... one step at a time up the mountain

I have been home now for a few days - a week? My memory is still crap, so forgive the lack of clarity. Each day presents its challenges, though all things considered I am getting stronger and making progress. 

This journey isn't for the faint of heart, and I can imagine and see why some might give up instead of standing up, and there's no judgment there. The days are long, the nights sometimes longer, but each new morning is filled with possibility. 

And along the way is the love and support and encouragement from friends and family, who are praying for us and sending healing thoughts. 

How could we walk through this life without that strength? I don't know that I could. What about you?
 

Onward and upward

Oh, what a whirlwind this is! One moment I'm recovering, the next there's a tiny setback, so we persist through those. I won't let tiny inconveniences stop me, as exhausting as it is to always look up, look forward, keep pushing. 

I don't have much more to impart at this point. I'm just happy to be hope finishing my recovery, clean of viruses and funguses and anything else that could derail me. And I'm grateful for each of you who follow the journey and join with your prayers. It takes a village to raise a child... and a village to help a grown woman heal and thrive once again. 

I know it'll be a while before I can dance, so for now I stick with walks and exercises to strengthen and get me there eventually. 

It's hard to live under the illusion that you're mostly in control to realizing there's nothing you actually control except your attitude and how you respond to things.

So we keep fighting, one foot in front of the other, one bite after the next, working toward independence.

Onward and upward!
