Steeley,

"But I do think that I have an inner strength that I can draw on when times get tough I just don't demonstrate it in the real world during my day to day existence."

I always have to remind myself that vunerability is not weak. In fact it is from vuneralbility that I find my greatest strength. It takes a really strong person to allow themselves to be vunerable and that means that instead of walking through things with "dignity and grace" I often walk through things sobs and tears. But I do walk through them! And I am not lying to myself or others that it is easy or logically felt, or something glittery. It is just sogging through the mud when that is all there is to be done. If we waited for the mud to dry we would be standing still for a very long time!

I don't know what any of that just meant. I woke up and couldn't get to sleep and I think my brain is on reduced power at the moment.

Night Night Steely!

And you to LSW!
