I started off somewhat anonymously this blog.
Fear and anxiety these days are a part of my life almost as much getting up and taking a shower and brushing my teeth.
Online there is some anonymity. Yet, I can't disappear from those who know me completely. I don't really want to either. However, this season is difficult. I am having to rediscover myself in some areas, reinvent myself in others and discover my "new" self and it is all happening at the same time. I am slowly re-gaining self confidence and acceptance of where I am at today. Yesterday was yesterday, tomorrow is tomorrow, but today at this given moment, this is where I am at and this is what I am able to do and that is okay.
Some might know me from my other blog, Beach Gardens. Currently, it is just too difficult, to post there. Maybe one day, I will return. I do love my Beach Gardens part of my life. It is very much a part of me but for now, I am hear at Faithfully Leaning and Counting, because while I have leaned into God over the years, I am leaning even more heavily on Him than I have ever before. And I am counting...counting the blessings He bestows on my daily and hourly. Focusing on His blessings is what keeps me going and reminds me this moment, this pain and suffering is just for a season and He does love me. He does care for me. He does see me. He is there. So I keep on counting. I count pennies. Lots and lots of pennies, because every dollar starts with a penny and as my dad says, every pound starts with an ounce.
So this is me. This is where I am at in life today.
