putting one foot in front of the other.

********

some days are more difficult than others. 

some weeks are more difficult than others. 

this has been one of those weeks. 

in fact, it began last week, rolled into this one, and surely will not end 

until i go on holiday from work mid-august. 

it's been one of those weeks where i say what i am thinking, 

even when my voice shakes, 

even when i burst into tears from being broken open, right down the middle

of my very being. 

i'm sure i'm not alone in walking this path of hardship. 

but we are tough, we are. 

we keep on putting one foot in front of the other….
