Photo Challenge Day Four

Day Four - A picture of your night.

There comes a point in your day when the sun goes away. The stars sometime will peak out from behind the city glow and the world seems calmer. The morning and afternoon rushes subside.

Tonight was injection number 2. You are supposed to switch the injection site, between 3 locations about 2 inches below your belly button each day. Today it was directly below about 2 inches. That feeling of the needle sliding in was intense. The first big sting followed by more stings as the medication slowly slipped through the needle tip and into my body.

How do you prepare yourself for this? How do you keep trying new medications and procedures which may not always have the outcome your looking for?


My Willow Tree is blooming tonight, and tonight I am reminded just how precious life is.  This week I have been minutes from 2 car accidents.  There was 2 fatal injuries in 1 accident that happen on Monday night.  Then this morning Route 47 seemed to stop for what felt like an eternity as medics tend to another accident. 
 
Why is is that bad things happen to good people?  Why do you get faced with the toughest decisons after already feeling like you've climbed a mountain? 

Sometimes there are people waiting for you at the top of that mountain and it's the start of something new.  Othertimes your making that climb alone and you soon realize you are only 1/2 way there.  It is those times I feel like you come out stronger than ever.  Tonight I pray that I am near the top of my Infertility Journey.  I know I still have many things to learn, but I am ready for what is next.

The Tree of Enchantment

There are many times in life you will open your heart. 

Passion for A New Job. Your First Love. Your Family. A New Friend. A Perfect Purchase of a Puppy.


This morning I work up and was reminded why I love my life.  Imperfections and all, Life is good.


Today I found my missing flag, it was a gift from my mother.  The blizzard took it away and I thought it was lost forever.  The sun shined high and melted the snow... hidden under a thick blanket of snow yet it was still close to home. 


It looks good back where it belongs.  Although spring is around the corner and soon I will tuck the flag away until next winter.  Next it was onto my morning tea, in the new mug from my BFF.



Just over a year ago I made an appointment to see my Gynecologist.  I took the next step to see why I was not pregnant after months of trying.

Today I am still on the same journey.  Looking for the little key which unlocks my mystery of Infertility.


February is a perfect month.  The Month of Love.  In lieu of Valentines Day and the start of a new trial of medications, I found it fitting to buy "The Tree of Enchantment".  The weeping pussy willow is among the most graceful of trees.  It is connected with all that is feminine-dreaming, intuition, emotion, enchantment, healing and revitalization.

Now I must leave you to finish a romantic dinner for 2.

Happy Valentines Day!
