Seven years ago.
Time stands still for me when I see this photo.
I remember how completely BLISSFUL I felt in that Paris Métro station with this guy beside me. We’ve experienced so much life (quite literally, lots of new little lives) these last 7 years, and it hasn’t always been blissful.
But I’m thankful for it all, the good AND the hard.
I have chosen to grow from the challenges life has brought (and continues to bring) us. Many days I long for a life of ease and simplicity and bliss, to feel how I felt in the moment captured here.
But I am resolved to practice contentment and gratitude even as we face difficult seasons of intense adulting. I’m looking for the lessons that need to be learned and wondering how these experiences will equip me to help others down the road.
I believe with all my heart that each of us (You included, my friend!) was created with PURPOSE, and sometimes going through the muck is necessary for us to grow into being better versions of ourselves.
If you’re in a similar season, I want you to know you’re not alone. That is all.
