Happy Friday!

I hope that you’re all doing well today.  And if you’re not – if you’re struggling to get out of bed, just lay there a few extra minutes.  If your heart is heavy with despair, have a good cry.  If you’re in pain, hug that heating pad (or cat, or grip that pencil, or bite your lip) a little tighter.

Albert Camus wrote,

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

You do possess the strength to overcome.  And if you don’t yet realize that there is a burning ember inside you, seek the flames of others.  You do not need to endure alone, although you are capable and strong enough.

Hang in there.
