I want to experience the joy that each day can bring to my life. For the past few years my husband and I, have been dealing with infertility. That can bring some serious ups and downs with it. Unfortunately, after all the medications, hormones, blood draws, and stirrups (I should be made an honorary cowgirl by now) we are still without child.
A few months ago, after the latest setback I realized that I needed to figure out how to be happy. When you go through infertility it constantly feels like your life is on hold. Waiting for the next procedure, waiting to see if it works, waiting to do it again. And because your body is put through quite an ordeal you have to put things on hold. You can't exercise, you constantly think in terms of...9 months from now, could I plan on doing this, or will I be pregnant, etc.
Anyhow, so with the latest setback I decided I was really going to enjoy life and put all this infertility nonsense behind me. I could no longer depend on having a child to usher happiness into my life. Now, don't get me wrong, I am generally a happy person, but I have found that when I do certain things in my life on a daily basis, it is easier to find the joy in life.
Through the medium of this blog I plan on posting quotes, scriptures, experiences, and photos that help me find joy in the moment of now.
