Me, Myself and Mommy

Today I am grateful for Moanna. I am grateful for her everyday, but today I am especially grateful that her love for life pushes me forward.

When Moanna came home Sunday evening from her three week trip to Maryland, it was  like my will to live came home with her. I know that may sound cheesy, but while she was gone I kind of lost site of the bigger picture. When I knew she was coming home, I got excited and started looking forward toward something other than my next nap.

Since Moanna came home, my energy has started to return. I’ve gone four days without taking a nap. I have been able to accomplish more things within a day, than I have since August. I have done some house work and some cooking. I have been able to plan for activities like Trick-or-Treating, and be confident that I will feel well enough to participate. None of this may not seem like much to the rest of the world, but for me, these are major steps. I still have a ways to go before I am quote unquote normal, but I know I am making progress.

Most importantly, since Moanna came home I have been able to plan, dream, visualize, live. I remember what I was working towards before the miscarriage, and before surgery. I want those things more now than I did before my life was put on on hold.

I am truly grateful for Moanna and the way she has reminded me to celebrate today and anticipate the joys of tomorrow.
