This time last year I was driving 67 miles one way to work at 6 am. I was praying my husband was breathing when I woke up. I was making arrangements for someone/anyone to take him to and from dialysis.

Somedays I didn’t make it home until 7:30/8 pm. Somedays he’d be stuck at the dialysis treatment center until I made it there.

My phone calls started before 7 and never seemed to end. I thought I was living the American dream. I was working hard and meeting my goals.

This time last year I would be fired unexpectedly…and it was one of the biggest blessings I ever received. At the time, my feelings were hurt. Now I am thankful. I learned me. I learned my hubby. I feel like I extended both of our time here on earth. I can take him to and from appointments. I found out a lot of his underlying issues…I feel like a whole nurse - 💉giggles

As I sit here in the waiting room of the doctor's office while he has minor surgery, I am thankful that I don’t have to answer text messages, Teams messages, WhatsApp messages, or phone calls. I have time to breath. I have time to bond with my honey. I have time to grow me. Not professional workaholic me, but ME…Meka... Spiritual, passionate, fun, crazy me…And I am blessed 💜
