Yesterday

Posted on 8:40 PM by Unknown
I asked the question half in jest and whole in earnest.  Could things get worse?

Yesterday was hard.  The kind of hard that made my limbs feel like sand bags and made my brain turn viscousy and slither down my spine where it became a pool of exhausted desperation at my feet.  When I feel like that, like I’m losing strength and leaking courage, I have to remind myself: I can do hard things.

Today was better.  And I realize life may always be this way, complicated and quicksilver, shifting between imprecation and blessing.
