B+

89%. That’s where I am right now. Not 90, because I’m satisfied with that even though it’s only an A-. But 89 is just annoyingly close to an A. 
My body isn’t quite back to normal and my energy gets used up pretty quickly. It has only been six weeks, which seems like a long time but it really isn’t. I didn’t have any expectations for how long recovery was going to be, but apparently I thought I’d be fine by now. Some days that last percent drives me crazy, because I don’t like it when I can’t do what I want to. Being thankful is what gets me through those difficult days. Today I ran a mile, which isn’t that impressive. But I was grateful for every step because last week I couldn’t run that far. This process has shown me how to be humble as well. Admitting that I can’t do something or need someone to do it for me is not one of my skills, but I'm working on it.
I’ve noticed that I haven’t been writing as much lately, and I think that’s because I really don’t have anything to process right now. Forgive my lack of words, but I’m content. And that is beautiful beyond anything I could write.
Here’s some evidence of summer adventures...



I know indeed how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.
