It's been one week...

I don't think that I have been able to wipe the massive grin off my face all week! I have been able to wear a PAIR of shoes! Not just any shoes, but tennis shoes, boots and other shoes that cover my WHOLE foot! This might not seem like that big of a deal, but to me it is! I haven't done that in over 4 years! .... and socks! I have discovered that I need to get new socks! I can wear pairs now and I only have a few left! Oh, the "simple" joys...

My wonderful, amazing God has blessed me beyond measure.

I have learned (even more so now than ever) that everything has a purpose. We rarely understand at the time, especially when it is something that throws us so much out of our "comfort zone"... But He knows. He knew long before.

Oh, yeah... and I can wrestle with my boys, chase them around, ride bikes with them and just generally play with them - and I don't have to worry about getting hurt or protecting my foot!

{sigh} Life is good.
