Blessed: Broken Wings

Broken Wings

Along this journey, there are some days when I feel like I'm flying with broken wings...

I'm mostly in tact, but little pieces of me are missing...

For the most part, I get by okay, even with the broken and missing pieces...

A lot of people would never guess that I'm surviving with broken wings...

But I know how hard it is to fly and soar with a carefree spirit when part of you is missing...

I know what it's like to wish to be fully perfect...

And I know what it's like to hope, despite having broken wings...

I'm blessed to be surrounded by beauty, even on days when I feel broken.

Nothing bad happened did it? You are freaking me out...

I can understand this analogy perfectly. I told Jason the other night - "I am broken and will never be fully healed. I have lost my old self forever..."

Love you and hope the babe is in there strong and healthy...
