Self talk

Sometimes I write words to inspire myself to get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other. And believe me, sometimes it takes a lot. But I do. I get out of bed (most days) and I pray and I write down things I am thankful for and I smile. On purpose. And I love myself (most days). And on the days when the clouds get low I stand when I cannot take the next small step and I breathe. And that's enough. That one breath and then the next is what I need to stay alive.
