THE FREAKIN’ COW | Feel Good Friday 011421

TRR! That’s what it felt like when my achilles ripped. But TRR is also a new series on this blog documenting my recovery moving forward, not in the banal I-had-surgery-a-week-later way, but in the emotional, psychological, physical way all of us deal with trauma. I wrote a whole boring intro, but let’s focus on the…
2022 is the Year of Bright
