A 2 Pronged Praise

One year ago today, I was admitted to the hospital...I had a breakdown. It's hard to believe it has been a year. I was so frightened...afraid I had lost myself...afraid that everything that I valued about myself was false...afraid that the joy in my life was going to be medicated out of me. A good part of this year has been a slow crawl back to function...back to believing in myself again. Many of you who read this were a part of that recovery and are now a part of the joy I do indeed retain in my life (despite the pharmaceutical obstacles).

I thank God for you all
I thank God for my illness...it has brought me to this place
I thank God for my recovery

I suppose that's 3 prongs...and to add another...I was asked to become a permanent staff member at my job today!!
