Strength

I am strong.  And courageous.  And learning to embrace the fact that though I am those things, sometimes, I am not the right one for the job.  Or it's time for me to take a backseat.  Turns out it's not as hard as it seems.
Working so much has taught me many things.  How to be flexible.  How to trust that I can stay awake and can do a good job.  How to communicate my needs.  How to give myself a break.  Even if I only have a few moments.
But I have been strange too.   The grief of yesterday kinda seeped into my bones a bit and eeks out when I least expect it.  I am tender.  I am fragile.  And I'm learning that I can be those things WHILE being strong and courageous.
and for now, I am tired.  So I will rest and come here again another day.
Be blessed.  Know that you are valuable.
