Tidbit
Every day you rise is an opportunity.
Every breath you breathe is a gift.
Every strength you have is a calling.
Every person in your path is an offering.Treasure these.
Carry them well.
Don't get sloppy.There is no greater injustice than to treat any one of these as entitlements or options to be played around with or dismissed at whim.
They are not.
They are for you to learn to live fully, to love vulnerably, and to offer yourself on something other than your own terms.

Strength in silence
