Day 2 - Quotation Inspiration. Find a quote that inspires you (either positively or negatively) and free write about it for 15 minutes.
"You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment."
It is so true. Have you ever seen someone giving birth or someone getting chemo? They are the strongest people you will ever see. Lifting weights is easy compared to pushing a 12 pound baby out of your body. Running a marathon is a piece of cake compared to a round of chemo. Seeing people rise up to do what seems impossible, those are the miracles. Seeing people face challenges knowing those challenges are not going to be pleasant but they face them anyway.
Sometimes the challenges are not so life altering. Sometimes the challenge is getting out of bed in the morning or being able to walk across the floor. Sometimes it is being able to hold a hairbrush or a toothbrush in the morning. Or maybe it is swallowing those pills just one more time when you really don't want to.
These people are just as strong. It takes strength to get out of bed when you know your feet are going to hurt like the devil. It takes strength to stick yourself with needles each week. It takes strength to exercise when it may send you into a flare. It takes strength to keep going. We have strength!
Until tomorrow...
