Few Words Wednesday: Strength

This summer has included a couple of twists and turns we hadn't expected. As a result, I am redirecting some of the time I would have spent writing and keeping my Wednesday posts a little shorter. 

Though I miss spending an hour or two every afternoon and/or evening connecting the thoughts in my head with my fingers on the keyboard, I have enjoyed looking for meaningful, relevant quotes that quickly and simply convey how I feel about our world and my - and my family's - journey through it.

Sometimes the tests are little: a tough workout, perhaps. We think we have reached our limit - our muscles and lungs seem just seconds from giving out - but then from somewhere deep within, we find the strength to finish the class, the song, or even just the rep. 

Sometimes the tests are big: a difficult diagnosis, trauma, or life-changing event. We think we have reached our limit - our minds and hearts seem just seconds from giving out - but then from somewhere deep within we find the strength to get up and fight another day.

I hope that whatever the size and scope of your challenges, you find your reserve and use it to ace that test.
