"I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God." ~ Helen Keller
Many of you know about my battle since my back surgery in 2009. I must admit I didn't handle it so well. Then again, I don't know that I handled it badly given the circumstances. I went through the normal process with the situation: denial, depression, bargaining, anger, and acceptance. Everyone processes loss and change differently, but ultimately, we all go though the same stages but in different ways. I rearranged the order of the process to fit my situation. I was stuck on the anger stage for a long time...through it all I found solace in my photography and my family. God led me to new opportunities in spite of my disabilities and I always made it through. He has always been my comfort and by His grace I accepted that I am forever changed, always a valuable child in His eyes, and can do anything as long as I trust & follow Him.
This Thanksgiving has been a very special one for me! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me. I would like to thank my husband, son, family, and friends for always being there supporting me, for your many prayers, and for walking with me on this journey. I am so very blessed and thankful for all of you!
I wish all of you love, many blessings, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and those you love.
Until next time ~ Keep Smiling (it can always be worse)
