Getting Through It (2009)


Recommended Posts

My Friend sent me this today through email and I wanted to shae it with you. It is generic in nature but lots in it to take. Realize what you have accomplished in the horror of your life and be kind to yourself. Enjoy

"Come on in and stop for a second to shake your head, dust yourself off, and look back at how far you've come. Sure it's been a long year. Some crushing lows slapped you and smacked you around. There were times your heart dipped and you squinted back tears while your stomach squeezed so tightly you couldn't sleep. There were moments you walked around in a glossy eyeball daze - when loved ones hurt, friends didn't stay, or someone dear to your heart slowly drifted away. Sleepless nights, stressful nights, with teething babies, slurring customers, bad bosses, bickering boyfriends or blank computer screens. You were feeling and you were dealing and you were reeling and you were healing. But as you walked your hard path down your long and bumpy road some little drops of confidence dripped like coffee into your head and into your heart. As you stumbled and got back up a quiet inner strength slowly seeped into your bones. And as you climbed over obstacles set in your way some relaxed satisfaction and growing self-awareness glimmered like bright lights at the bottom of your stomach.

Yes, this year changed you in so many ways you don't even feel or notice yet. As you struggled you empathized, as you slipped you understood, as you worked you earned, as you looked you learned, as you dared you grew and as you jumped you flew.

Your dreams are still focusing and your passion is growing. Your energy is still bubbling as your story keeps going. You've been through so muich and gained a year's supply of experience along the way. You're stronger than you were last year and stronger than you realize. Sure, there were times you bent, but you definitely didn't break. There were times you caved, but you definitely didn't flake.

Listen up, you ggot bigger, you got better, and you got the scars to prove it. St stop for a second today to smile and look back at everything you've done this year...everything you've seen..everywhere you've been. You've taken more illegal naps and had more blurry eyed late nights, you've danced to more wedding songs and smiled at more beautiful sights. You've seen more scorching sunsets and heard more head-bopping songs. You've trippede a few times, but baby you kept rolling right along. Yes, you've hugged more old friends and kissed some brand new faces. You've cheered more on the sidelines and visited some brand new places. You tasked more meals, you got more deals, and you've sniffed more flowers.

And you made it all the way through this year because you're so completely AWESOME."
