"July's Turbulence"

"July's Challenges and August's Aspirations"

July was a challenging month, but we made it through. I started college and successfully passed all my courses, which was a huge accomplishment. As I prepare to begin classes again next week, I'm mentally gearing up for the next set of obstacles.

This month also brought unexpected news - our kidnapper's tragic passing, which I'm still processing. 

My son faced health struggles, getting committed twice, but thankfully, he's coming home today. 

My husband's return has brought a whirlwind of emotions and harassment, adding to the stress.

Currently, I'm dealing with a dislocated hip, which has made it hard to move around, and my back is suffering too. My pain level is at an all-time high, and medications can only do so much.

As I look to August, I'm craving peace, understanding, and vindication. I want to focus on managing my stress and prioritizing my well-being. I hope for my children to stay focused on their goals and have a supportive environment. I'd love to redecorate our home for fall and find joy in the little things.

Most of all, I want happiness and to be present for my children this school year. We deserve a good month, and I'm looking forward to the cooler weather bringing a sense of refreshment.

Bring on August! 🍁 🍀
