the road seems long with no end in sight and then you remember, there is no destination, just the journey
you get a phone call with news that someone you love is in the hospital, side effects from chemo forcing her to bed rest...and you can't quite process it all
you get a sudden wave of sadness thinking about a lost love, even though you've moved forward, at least you think you have
you watch the news and your heart hurts from seeing all the pain in the world and yet you still think love is the answer
the clouds roll in and as hard as you try you can't outrun the rain
your mind tells you tears need to fall and yet they don't seem to come
you get complimented on your teaching and it makes the long days totally worth every second
you push through the day with little sleep but plenty of energy then the next day you get plenty of sleep but can barely make it through the day
you focus a little too much on the scale and not enough on how healthy and strong you are
you are so grateful that you didn't have surgery because now your back feels great
