				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I realized, earlier today, that it has been about a year since I returned from my wriatus and began blogging again on this site with my &#8220;<a href="http://mommyeverafter.com/category/a-hard-story/">Hard Story&#8221;</a><strong>, </strong>before I knew to call it that; before I even know what &#8220;it&#8221; was. For some reason I had thought that my first post back was my big <a href="http://mommyeverafter.com/mommyhood/the-hardest-post-ive-ever-written/">&#8220;The Hardest Post I&#8217;ve Ever Written.&#8221;</a>, where I came out with my Postpartum Depression. I was incorrect. My first posts back were my <a href="http://mommyeverafter.com/category/a-hopeful-story/birth-story-a-happy-story-a-hopeful-story/">serialized posts of my Birth Story with my son</a>. Let&#8217;s just say I dipped a toe in before making the big dive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Well, when I look back at what I was writing a year ago, it is not so much different in content, but it is from a different place and a different person. Things that were in the foreground then are now in my background, and I have new characters playing lead roles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Almost exactly a year ago I wrote this post called <a href="http://mommyeverafter.com/mommyhood/living/">Living.</a> It struck me, because it could have been written today.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But, what struck me more deeply, more emotionally, is that I was able to do what that card implied;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and that&#8217;s called life.</p>
