I have
been waiting for time and inspiration to overlap so that I could
write something that I wanted to share. It hasn't happened in some
time and today is no different – I have time but am feeling
uninspired.
Over
the last weeks, I have given it a lot of thought and decided that it
is time to officially wrap up this blog.
“Julia's
journey” was started with the intention of sharing my walk from
eating disorder hell to life. I found that by thoughtfully writing about the ups and downs the result was a deepening in my
understanding of the process by explaining it. It was started with
optimism and hope that it would end with a well person writing. It
has, and that (wellness) is comprised of more than I could have ever imagined not long
ago.
The end
of October offered my “one year home” anniversary. It was
celebrated quietly with great friends, good food, and a toast.
Suffice to say, change and growth has continued over the year and
finally, I feel like I am settling into life as a whole me. I remember more, now, than
I did a year ago (sometimes with memories coming back whether I
prefer to have them or not) but my focus is largely on the “now”
with an optimistic and hopeful outlook for the future.
Sharing
my experience has been a gift. Thank you to all of my readers and
supporters. This is not a journey I could have undertaken alone.
And so,
I will continue to bumble through life's transitions and experiences
only as well as I can, with the awareness and understanding that I possess
at any given time. As I continue to live, I certainly hope to grow
in grace.
Wishing
each of you much peace in your days. Please never, ever give up. There is always hope.
Thank
you again.
