Things have been going really well for awhile. Despite some sad and stressful occurrences I have been holding strong, and feeling good. But....every now and then that darkness sneaks in when I am not paying attention...like today.
It feels heavy and I don't want to carry it. Then I get snippy. Then I remember that I am stronger now and I have tools to fight it back. I do laundry, clean the kitchen, sneak in a quick 20 minute nap while Daddy plays with the kids. Then I start to find the light around me....the light in a loving and understanding hug from the man I love....the light in the sound of my son's giggles while he plays with his Daddy....the light in a cuddle with my little girl....the light in her 3 year old questions about Santa and the Easter Bunny. The light gets bigger and the darkness gets smaller....I get stronger.
It will sneak in sometimes, it is a strong and persistent shadow. Remember that the light is always stronger than the dark.
