Earlier this week I was feeling discouraged.
I felt weighed down by concern for people I love. It is a helpless feeling when loved ones suffer.
I felt weighed down by the interminable cycle of: chemo, feeling awful; recovery, feeling tired; feeling better; scrambling to catch up and get ahead before chemo starts again. It's physically and mentally exhausting.
I felt powerless to change any of it. I didn't even know what to pray for. It is what it is.
I did pray for help though.
The next day, sweet Hannah sent me an encouraging text, telling me she loved me and is praying for me. Later in the day, Marie Louise sent me an encouraging text.
They were valuable reminders that I'm not alone. Things are hard, but I can do it. Even if it's one day at a time, I can do it.
I am grateful for those reminders.
