I hope we feel free to step up to the plate and start this thread if it hasn't yet been. No one can be here every single morning!

For me, today, I'm building on the past few days. Days in which I've feel empowered, strong, and like there IS a light at the end of this tunnel of pain and dissapointment.

Being physical, and being productive helps GREATLY.

I know Ann posts from Melody's daily meditation collection, but I read this one last night (from May 17) and I thought it appropriate for this thread (not in its entirety):

Sometimes, life and people seem to push and push. Because we are used to pain, we may tell ourselves it doesn't hurt. Because we are used to people controlling and manipulating us, we may tell ourselves there is something wrong with us.

There's nothing wrong with us. Life is pushing and hurting to get our attention. Sometimes, the pain and pushing are pointing toward a lesson.

If something or somebody is pushing us to our limits, that's exactly what's happening: we're being pushed to our limits. We can be grateful for the lesson that's here to help us explore and set our boundaries.
