As I was working out this morning my trainer said something time under tension. The point to the strengthening exercises is to hold each moment with precision. That means slow and steady. I keep going back to those two words. I’m to revel in the burn, the duress. I’m to see the motive to the mission. I was reading back on old posts, and I had to see how every no had a purpose. These no’s were a gain for me. I lost nothing. In this time of a no that stung, my writing increased. As I look back it was some of my best work. I was honest to a fault, freely letting my thoughts fly. Writing has been my sounding board. The venue for which my soul rested in truth. My truth has been formed by a reality I never desired. As I exercise each day, I’m reminded of some facts
I was bought with a price
My scars
He carries them all
With an endurance
To weather
Impossibilities
Mere mortals
Are not equipped
To handle
Sometimes we have to go through different experiences to understand ourselves, but also to understand that without outside support we would not be what we are today 😉
ReplyDeleteYour short text is great! A very important...
Thank you for those last words. They were what I needed to hear today.
ReplyDeleteMy MiL always told me, if I complained about something, they are "life's little tests", I would reply, why do I keep getting exams then? Yep! Life is hard sometimes, wish I could learn what's expected of me, to move on. Wishing you well Regina.
