#Microblog Monday: One foot in

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

The road to transition is rarely a smooth one. Grey is actively in job-search/interview mode, thinking a lot about the next step and making connections almost daily. Still, there are moments where this potential future seems surreal. With daily deadlines and continual commitments, it still seems very much like a dream.

I remember a similar feeling following our last round of treatment. While your average fertile would immediately declare themselves pregnant and would be writing a birth plan, I was continually reminding myself that we were finally transitioning out of the trenches to the future we so desired. Many days, it all seemed surreal. Hence I always felt like I still had one foot in the trenches; waiting for it to all fall apart so that I would once again be back where we started.

This week is NIAW. I have a post in the works for the theme. But one thing is clear, even now with the Beats quickly approaching their second birthday: on some level, I'll always have my foot in the trenches. I'll always have a need to reach back and let those still fighting to resolve that they are not fighting alone. Even in the moments where it all seems surreal. Even now as Grey and I fight for the next transition.
