Some days


"Always bear in mind that your own
resolution to succeed is more
important than any other one thing."
- Abraham Lincoln

“speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. tomorrow comes more brightly...” ― Mary Anne Radmacher

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”
Mary Anne Radmacher



 Some days are just tough.  Today was one of those days.  Today, I did something different.  Instead of trying to tough it out and keep going, I gave myself permission to curl up in the fetal position and watch TV.  Many people don't realize that not only does PTSD effect your mind, it also wrecks havoc on your body.  Tomorrow the sun will rise and I will rest.  The day after that I will go again.
