Two Years in a Wheelchair

Well the two year anniversary of me being in a wheelchair went by without much notice or emotion really. It crossed my mind in the weeks approaching Anthony's birthday, but because I was so busy with other tasks never really gave it much thought. The day of his birthday I didn't even realize it was the anniversary until almost dinner time.

Really, I'm quite pleased that the date and timeline doesn't bother me. Life continues to go on, and there are more important things than whether or not I'm in a wheelchair. Don't get me wrong, I still more often than I'd like to focus on myself and ignore the pain of others. But in this current state I am completely at peace. I know what God's promises for my life are, and I trust that He will bring those to pass. Until then I will continue to live this blessed life that I have been given. I am so full of joy and so grateful for what I have.
