In addition to writing more in 2017, I’m also challenging myself to recognize the positive moments that occur each day. Big or small, I’m hoping these moments will help me balance out the chaotic, overwhelming nonsense that tends to crowd my mind. (Ah, the glamorous life of a special needs parent!)

The first entry in this exercise? FaceTiming with Alex earlier this evening. As difficult as he can be, he always tells me his misses me when we are apart.
