P52 Challenge: I Have a Dream

Back in the worst years of my anxiety, I thought I would never be able to function a part from depending on anti-anxiety meds. I wasn't sure that I could do anything on my own without some kind of safety net underneath to catch me. This weeks photo challenge is called, "I have a dream" in honor of the late Dr. Martin Luther King. I thought a lot about my dreams and aspirations and how I'm 29 years old with two kids and still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up. But when I look back at the me from my early 20's, I realize that perhaps I'm already living out a dream that at one point, I thought I'd never see- to be healthy and happy. This, I'm sure, had to happen before any of my other dreams could be realized. So today, I'm grateful for the baby steps, the-two-steps-forward-and-one-step-backs, for grace that has been extended to me above and beyond what I deserve, and for the beautiful life that I'm living, not because I've learned to live without anxiety, but in spite of it.
