Strength

Sometimes instead of saying, "I can't help feeling this way," you decide that you are, in fact, going to change something you said you couldn't. You make up your mind, say a little prayer and take a step forward. And when it all works out, you realize that you are stronger than you realized.

I am proud of myself today. I realized that there's very little "I can't" once I put my mind to something (and ask for a little help from above).

I come from a long line of strong women. Strength comes not from being able to open stuck jars or lifting heavy boxes (although I am getting better at all of that too-really!). Real strength comes from within - and that I've got. I've had it all along.
