i’ve had hard times in my life (as have a lot of people). but you all know i’ve had a harder than typical year. several loses. several emotional blows. days of very little hope and lit by darkness. laced with meds for depression and counseling. coupled with a lot of retreating and hiding.<\/p>\n
and while i’ve been on meds and in counseling in the past, this time it all seems different. perhaps its because i am desperate for a new feeling and a new healing. i don’t know. all i do know is that exposing old wounds (some 23 years old) is painful and discovering that some of those wounds are self-inflicted, is even more painful. but i am thankful for the pain nonetheless. means i’m hitting on something i need to remedy.<\/p>\n
my “thanks” this year can be summed-up in crowder’s “never let go<\/em>” because He doesn’t. this is the hope i’ve had to and will continue to rely on. and it is Him and His ever-present help that i am thankful for this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n ——————————————-<\/p>\n When clouds veil sun Ever faithful When clouds brought rain Oh, my soul Oh, what love, oh, what love what are you thankful for?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" i’ve had hard times in my life (as have a lot of people). but you all know i’ve had a harder than typical year. several loses. several emotional blows. days of very little hope and lit by darkness. laced with meds for depression and counseling. coupled with a lot of retreating and hiding. and while… Continue reading i am thankful for…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-box-of-chocolates","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
