So, I have mentioned that we have a fresh start...and what makes us happy...now we need figure out how to grow from here. I have to say that maintaining this blog and seeing what happened in my day to write about, is therapeutic for me. I think it is making me grow, kind of like the tree above, because it is making me more aware. I have my hard times during the day but for the most part, I am thankful and blessed. We are truly lucky to be surrounded by friends and family who have rallied around us and make those random calls just to make sure we are doing OK. It is impossible to explain how much that means.
As I move into this new start, I think about what I will do to grow in myself. Here are my ideas, so far... Suzy and I are going to run a 5k in December (before you run for the phone to tell me to be careful, I am going to be using a trainer to get in shape first). That is going to be my first goal. This is something I have always liked the idea of doing...we'll see if I actually like doing it. :) Trying something new, though, is definitely an effort to grow...
How are you going to grow this fall?

I think blog-writing is definitely therapeutic. I know it helped me get through a rough patch last year. And thinking about what I can write or photograph has become a highlight of my day and has helped me to really be more mindful of the everyday moments that might otherwise not be documented (or even noticed).

Good luck with the run - it sounds like a challenge!
