I intentionally had a little talk with my friend, Rach. She's the secretary here at VOA. Just hearing her problems let me know that there's always someone who has it worse. I am rejuvenated. And not by a comparison of her problems with mine. But the fact that she can deal with so much more at her age lets me know that I am strong enough to withstand the tough times. I think I've always known it cuz it's always been there. I just needed the revelation. Now that I have it, I'm on m way to a full recovery.
I am thankful for these hard times though. It'll make me appreciate the times that are easier going.
I'm reminded of an adage my grandma used to say all the time:
Baby, it's plenty hard travelin' up the rough side of the mountain, but just imagine your struggle if you had to go up that same thing completely smooth.
