One Challenge At a Time - Giving up and Getting Up

So today... Not my day.

It has honestly been one of those days where I want nothing more than to climb into my bed, pull the blankets up and drown myself in Netflix movies until the end of time. One of those days where absolutely nothing will go right, and the few things that had gone beautifully yesterday were now falling apart. I just wanted to throw my hands in the air and give up.

And I did, for a moment. But then an overwhelming feeling came over me "just deal with it." So I got myself up to deal with one of the issues I didn't want to face. And slowly but surely, I was able to work some of the kinks out. Then a few more things slowly started to come together. 

Now not everything worked out and there are still problems to be dealt with BUT I was left with a feeling of strength. I felt empowered. And I found that there is so much peace in facing challenges and maybe not overcoming them, but just facing them. Things are not always going to turn out the way we want but we grow and become stronger when we simply get up... one challenge at a time.
