Two Weeks Too Long

Healing, gratitude, and gentle progress.

Two weeks too long, lol! After spending what feels like forever indoors, I finally made it out of the house today for a short walk around my neighborhood. It felt so refreshing. Recovery hasn’t been easy, but it’s been a lesson in patience. I’ve had to remind myself that healing takes time, and even the smallest steps forward matter. I am so appreciative of my village my parents, godparents, church family, and my friends for surrounding me with love and support throughout this procedure. Their encouragement, prayers, and check-ins have made the healing process so much more bearable, and I’m deeply grateful.

I’ve also been intentional about using this recovery time to focus on my health and growth. I’ve been making healthier food choices, eating more fruits and vegetables, and paying closer attention to what I put into my body. I even discovered this fun app called Happy Color—yes, adults color too! It’s been surprisingly therapeutic and a peaceful way to pass the time. On top of that, I’ve been utilizing these quiet days to study for my licensure exam to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. Balancing healing with productivity has been challenging, but it feels good to know I’m still moving toward my goals, even in this season of rest.
