And while I know you were just here being honest about your "murky" year, you also gave me a big dose of perspective...Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you feel welcome enough here in my little corner of the blog world to share. My problems are trivial in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes I get crushed under the weight of them and lose my focus. So, thank you. Thank you for sitting on my proverbial couch and being real with me. Thank you Krista!

I have had a particularly "murky" year: a miscarriage followed up by my son being diagnosed with NLD, a Nonverbal Learning Disorder (similar to Aspberger's). It was rough, but through faith, family, and friends (oh, and blogging), I proved to myself I am stronger than I ever thought imaginable. I kept reminding myself each moment of the day, when simply breathing felt like a chore, "God will never give me more than I can handle". Trials refine us. They make us stronger, and I know you will come out the other end of your trial a stronger woman, wife, mother, and daughter of God than you could ever imagine possible. :) Indeed it does!

I'll be honest, I'm more of a fraidy cat most days. I did have PPD after my first. This time, I think it is just severe sleep deprivation that messes with my head. Most days, I feel like it is just a combination of lots of stress and severe exhaustion....which doesn't help things in the feeling balanced department. Either that, or I'm in denial ;) Thank you Sherri! I’ll be honest, I’m more of a fraidy cat most days. I did have PPD after my first.

You just gave me a dose of perspective whether you intended to or not. Thank you so much for commenting. I pray that little guy of yours is doing better. Oh, Cassie.

I know it will end, but sometimes the water gets a little murky and it is hard to see, doesn't it? Thank you, Krista!

Thanks for commenting and letting me know that I'm not alone! Side note: I'm at Panera getting a little "breathing room" tonight. Apparently, blogging about it worked in my favor! ;) You’re welcome, Carol. Thanks for commenting and letting me know that I’m not alone!

I hope you'll find that you're not only helping others, but yourself too by writing it all out. Even though I didn't blog about it... I did hand write a personal journal thru my PPD and I believe it was one of the very things that rescued me. Hang in there. :-) Your courage is inspiring Sara!
