Some days...

• 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
• you realize you are so lucky to have this life.
