Joey slept most of the day. He tried to get some rest and some relief. It was a long day.
So many different emotions---so many different challenges. Each day brings a new challenge, a new stepping stone, a new bridge to cross. Yet each day that passes also brings Joey one step closer to healing--healing for the body, the mind, and the soul. Each day that passes brings new opportunities, new direction, hope---hope for the future, for a brighter tomorrow. There is always hope to make today better than yesterday, and tomorrow even better than today.
I am reminded of a quote: "The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse ." Carlos Casteneda
Joey, you are a warrior! Your trials are your challenges, and they are not small, but you are not weak. We are never given anything that we cannot handle. Our struggles make us stronger, and through them, they become our strengths. Someday you will look back on today and see how far you've come. You will look back and see where you've gone, how you've grown, and you will be amazed at who you've become. Then you will see, what I see. . .a warrior. . .
