<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">almost three years since an aneurysm exploded in my brain.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">since that time, life has shifted so dramatically from what it once was, i've hardly had time to process the change accordingly. toots was only two months when it happened, so i was novel to new motherhood and didn't put much effort towards my recovery when i came home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a year into said recovery, i lost my father, so needless to say, my quest to building back my health, once again, fell to the back of my mind (no pun intended) and my migraines returned. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">after a recent hospital stay, due to an infection in my brain, i am once again faced with taking my health, and overall survival with my condition, more seriously. so, </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">this month's challenge of '</span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">treasure</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">' hit home for me in a different way, because my values have changed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">as the people who love me most surrounded me, i felt a new shift arrive in my world. a simpler shift. because frankly put: i simply treasure...life. i treasure love. i treasure joy. i treasure my family and friends who have supported and loved me throughout this journey every step of the way, and continues to. i treasure noticing the simple things in life that brings me and everyone around me, <i>happiness</i>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">there was this window in my hospital room that i noticed everyone kept stopping to stand by. and while i could easily chop it up to the view, i'd like to think it was something else, something deeper calling to them. because every time someone lingered there, i caught a glimpse of them disappearing into a world where this world didn't belong. a world where just their thoughts, their memories, their prayers existed and i treasured getting to secretly capture those moments, happily, and healthily, recovering from my hospital bed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">*update: i have more angio coming up to see what's going on in this wonky brain of mine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">afterwards, if all checks out, i will treasure taking the time to recover </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">properly</i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, this time around.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">nope. i've got nothing. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let me explain: i went out for some street canvassing and it seemed no one was carrying an umbrella. heck, <i>i </i>wasn't even carrying one and <i>i</i> was carrying a camera. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">then, i thought, i'll just wait until the next day it rains. but, as life goes (or luck will have it) "something came up" and you guessed it: i missed my moment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">then, i thought, i'll just take a picture with my toddler and one of <i>her</i> umbrellas and welp, as three year old moods will have it, <i>she</i> wasn't having it, thus, this was all i got before tantrums and emergency nap times kicked in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
