Good morning beautiful humans, happy Friday! Thank you for spending part of your morning with me or evening depending on where you live in this great big world. Welcome to Life with Lane; my life through words, pictures, and food! Come on in………..

This time last year I was completely miserable. I didn’t even want to leave the house on most days. However, no one knew it! Why? Because I wore a mask of happiness. I wore a mask of bravery and pretended I was a warrior. I smiled like everything was okay. Underneath I was miserable and in pain.
Why was I pretending to be something I wasn’t? Because life still moves forward no matter how we feel! Bills still keep coming, work still has been done, and time stands still for no one.

Even when we don’t feel well, even when we’re in pain, even when things are falling apart, we sometimes have to put on a mask and keep it moving forward.
Life isn’t always easy. Life isn’t always butterflies and rainbows. Life is sometimes gut punches, shots to the temple, balls of stress, and anxiety. Sometimes we have to fake it until we make it!
Sometimes wearing a mask is what keeps us going!
