A look back, a look ahead: Advent

It's been 3 years since...
- medication "oops"
- resulting severe depression
- pulled out by church, somehow by Advent

The memories of depression slowly fade, though I'll never forget the pain. And each year the memories strangely return on a day like today.

And so we're at Advent again. We're waiting, anticipating, hoping.

And today, I'm...
- stressed, but ok
- uncertain, but holding onto faith that things will be ok
- weak physically, but then again, much stronger

And the hope that brought me back 3 years ago remains today in a different way,

because as I wait, anticipate, and hope,

occasionally I feel

Peace.
