Gentle Friday Reminder

I AM thankful.

And I'm hurting.

I AM full of gratitude.

And I'm sad.

I AM doing my best to live in abundance.

And, I'm full of trauma.

I AM fighting.

And, I'm exhausted.

I'm working hard to live in the present.

I'm reminded, daily, of my past.

I AM feeling my feelings.

They are hard.

I am no longer pretending.

I'm feeling.

I am no longer accepting what is not meant for me.

I'm making mistakes.

I do feel drained and awful.

I am still here.

Gentle reminder:

This is my season right now.

Yes, it has felt like a 44-year season.

And that sucks.

But, it's my season.

I'm doing the best I know how to do.
