I've been working on this page for a couple of weeks now. The journaling took me forever. The problems with my neck (and shoulder and knee... the list is long.. ha!) are not considered an emergency... but they give me constant issues. Some days are tougher than others, that's for sure. I really try to stay optimistic and this page is a little reminder to myself to keep my chin up.
The photo was taken from one of my walks and my title is a little inside joke to myself. Walking is the only activity my Physio has cleared me for in the past year. Even then, some days walking still sets things off. If you know me and know what I used to do for fun in the gym before all this.... Well, I've *really* had to learn to enjoy my walks. lol Hindsight is a wonderful thing though, because if I had my time over I would be a lot kinder to my joints! ha!
Love the layout....great photo and the rainbow is perfect for your raw journaling. I hope everything turns out well for you when you finally get your appointments. Hang in there...there will be good times at the end of the rainbow!
I love the shadowed ripped edge, it looks fabulous. I hope you'll be able to sort your darn problems out, the rainbow is a great idea here. Great page!!
Oh Trace! Being in a time of suffering is hard. You amaze me with your approach to it. I know we can learn valuable lessons in times life these and be prepared to help others who may face similar challenges in the future. May your patience, optimism and perseverance increase to meet each day with peace!
Oh Trace, love your optimism and understand your frustration. My car accident was 4 1/2 years ago. I was a personal trainer/fitness instructor who can't stand to step foot into a facility now. Walking in nature is the only thing that keeps me sane I think, as sane as an injured brain can be. Love the photo, title and your raw journaling. Way to keep persevering! I am confident you will meet the right doctor and the right time.
This is so beautiful Trace! Love your outlook on these trying times and your optimism is inspiring - thank you for sharing this today - I really needed to hear it - I'm going to adopt your title as my own little mantra!!! Keeping you in my prayers.

Oh Beth, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! That must have been so hard! Walking has kept me sane... but I can't walk on a treadmill because I know it will upset me. HA! I haven't been in a gym for 12 months now and I was there 5-6 days a week before all this. It blows my mind when I think about it. x
