The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Lately, I’ve been struggling again. Just when I feel like I’m getting past the hurt, something happens to bring it all back. The pain becomes fresh, and I start to feel weighed down again. 😔

But today, something changed. During our afternoon walk, Bella 🐾 trotting happily by my side, I had a moment of clarity. I realized how truly blessed I am, despite the struggles. Sometimes, it takes slowing down and appreciating the little things to recognize the abundance in life. 🌟

I live in a beautiful home that’s all mine 🏡—a space that brings me comfort and peace. I have my loving furbaby, Bella, who never fails to bring a smile to my face, even on the hardest days. Her companionship is a constant reminder that I’m never really alone. 💖

And as I look around at the fall foliage 🍂, it hits me how lucky I am to live in a place where nature puts on this incredible display every year. There’s something about those vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows that always lifts my spirits, no matter what else is going on. 🍂🍁

I’m also blessed in ways that go beyond the physical. I can make and can my own food—those jars of homemade sauce 🍅 are little reminders of hard work and love, lining my cupboards and waiting for me whenever I need a taste of home. 🥫

Most importantly, I have an incredible support system. My family , though not too far away, is always there when I need them. My friends and coworkers have shown me time and again that they can be counted on, offering love and support when I need it most. 👨‍👩‍👧

So yes, there may be hurt in my heart 💔, but I’m blessed beyond measure. Some days are hard, but recognizing the good that surrounds me helps make those days a little easier to bear. Even in the toughest of times, the blessings are always there, waiting to be counted🙏✨
