Tears
I just realized something this morning as I was updating my WRAP plan for the coming week. This really happened to me, I really had a nervous breakdown and spent the last 8 years recovering. Not just recovering, but learning an entirely new way to live. I've changed so much, inside and out. I'm thankful, I've been crying this morning, not because I'm in a bad way, but because of the reality that I'm in a better place than I could have ever hoped to be. I'm thankful for all the people who have loved me, supported me, been firm with me, cried with me, let me yell, cry, melt down, stayed with me, visited me in the hospital. And I'm thankful that Jesus never gave up on me, even when I gave up on Him. So I'll cry and laugh today, because I can.
