I don't pretend to be ok these days. I am not a pretender. besides, my dang face gives me away every time. Every.time.
There are a few things to which that I am certain....
1. God will never leave me nor forsake me
2. I have survived 100% of my hardest days.
In October I started going to the pool. I'd walk in "the bean" which is kind of like a lazy river... but for walking. One day I thought I'd go swim some laps only to discover I could not complete not a one.
So I set out with a plan... I started kicking 2 minutes and then 3 up to 5. I started swimming in an area that is about 1/2 of the length of the pool. and I built up from there. and then eventually I started swimming laps! what! I started building up up up!
and one day last week I swam 30 laps! I could hardly believe it.
I was swimming and contemplating some things I have going on and I started thinking about the last two years, the last 5 years, and how all that I learned and worked on lead me to where I am today. We don't get strong over night, it takes work but before we know it, we are HERE. Wherever that is for you.
So as I gird up my loins to take on another week, I will remember the lessons I've taken from the pool!
I'm...
strong
brave
kind
thoughtful
smart
wise
discerning
and so much more...
