The Lumberjack Song serves as a written summary of the years-an account of experiences that began as unfamiliar to both my family and me. As we navigated each day, we were able to document our story. For me, journaling evolved from a mere hobby into a sanctuary of solace and comfort. Recording transitional, emotional, and pivotal moments without the need for constant verbal expression helped me maintain my peace and provided a space for reflection on significant details. This companion journal, Grace Under Hardship, is created with you, the reader, in mind. As I navigated my journey, I discovered many insights along the way, and I hope to offer you a safe haven to express your thoughts and emotions without the need to start from scratch. Take the time to embrace your feelings and allow yourself to truly experience them.
