March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. To raise awareness, I am turning my blog yellow for the remainder of the month. The yellow ribbon not only shows support for our troops, but also for those battling the struggles that accompany Endometriosis. Which is convenient since my husband is a veteran after all, and I recently was diagnosed with Endometriosis. A week ago, I had Laparoscopy which definitively confirmed the diagnosis of Endometriosis.

Onto the Photo Challenge…
I realize that I am quite a few days behind. Thursday rolled around last week and I was feeling quite miserable. To catch up, I’ll post three photos today and another three tomorrow.
3/8 Heal –
It’s not the most ideal picture if we are talking quality, but it will suffice. It is a picture of one of the incisions from my Laparoscopy. I think it shows “heal” very well. Now that I have had the surgery, I am healing internally, externally, and even mentally.
3/9 Soft –
Soft toy, soft blankie, soft puppy…
3/10 Love –
It was love at first sight… we immediately fell in love with them, they with us, and with each other.
