What we are not going to do.

It’s okay to be discouraged.

What we are not going to do is give up.

It’s okay to be disappointed.

What we are not going to do is walk away.

It’s okay to feel defeated.

What we are not going to do is give in.

Disappointment IS disappointing. It is.

Defeat IS discouraging. It is.

But, what we are not going to do is to turn our backs on our dreams. No way. No how.

Can I be honest? Yesterday, I fought my level best to keep myself encouraged. I was mad. At me. I told myself I was a big dope for not knowing HOW yet and still. Crap.

Then, I told myself to shut up and go have a cup of β˜• coffee. It helped.

Change takes time. A lifetime. Nothing short of that will do.

Be encouraged. Keep at it. Keep drinking coffee and eating chicken strips. A weird combo, to be sure. It’s working for me. I think…lol.

trying through this trying time,

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
