I posted this on Instagram as a post tonight. I did so because I wanted it in my feed. I love this place (Roan, of course). I love this picture too. It represents what I’ve been through and how far I’ve come. I like the black and white version. I like the comparison between me and the trees. I love that you can see my hiking boots. They were new and so comfortable and made a big difference when hiking. I like that you can see my poles. I didn’t want them, but they helped, and I was wise enough to realize and to accept that. Sometimes it is o.k. to accept help. I’m realizing that.
