I just wanted to remind you of a few things to start your day;
1) You are not alone, even though it may feel like it.
2) You have survived a thousand days just like this one, you WILL get through it.
3) You are wonderful and special and worth the fight. You are worth it because of you, not because anyone else needs to see that or tell you that. You exist and the chances of that in mathematics is mind boggling. If no one else is telling you that you're worth it, tell yourself with all your heart, everyday. I promise it's true.
4) What ever is going on, you can fight it. You are much stronger that you think! Just look what you have gotten through already!
5) Stop believing the lies you and/or others are saying. You maybe down but you are a warrior who has made it a lot farther than most. So chin up, beautiful warrior, you are tired but you are not defeated!
6) Don't dwell on yesterday. When I was in the army, those who made it through basic and those who didn't only had one thing different. It wasn't strength or endurance, it was the ability to let yesterday go and start new today without all the baggage the previous day had. You are carrying enough weight, don't add to it. Each day has enough problems of it's own.
7) Don't feel guilty about being happy. You may not be in the place you want to be mentally, physically or spiritually, but you can start the journey there and you can make the place you are in a little better than it is.
8) Don't give up! I don't know how much further it is to the place we want, but I know you won't get there at all if you lay down and give up. Sometimes it's only one step, sometimes its a whole journey but then you get knocked back a few yards. You don't lose till you stop, so keep it going! You are doing wonderful under very hard circumstances.
9) Cry if you need to, ask for help if you need to, the world won't stop because you need a breather. If those around you act like it does, maybe it's time to have a talk with them. Even Hercules had a break between his labors, so little old you gets one now and again too. It's not weak to pause, regain your strength to push on. Weakness is giving up and believing the lies of "I can't". Maybe Can't right now, but you can and you will, because I already know the strength inside of you.
10) God loves you more than you will ever know, He has not abandoned you. These fiery trials refine us and make us stronger so we can help others when we are whole again. There will be a purpose if you continue your way through the storm.

Lastly, I am still new to this and I have no clue to tell if anyone is reading this or if I have comments turned on or if there is a way to follow the blog so you know when a new post is up. So if anyone knows how, please drop me a line to tell this old man how this new-fangled, technology works, lol.
Also if you can, once in awhile leave a comment if I have made it possible, just so I know I'm not talking to myself and I can see what you would like to hear more about.
As always my friends, I am amazed by you, you ARE beautiful and you CAN do it. Promise!
Frank
