I said I was ready for the challenges, but gosh I was not.
Not at all ready. I forced myself ready and I fell down. Crashing down hard.
If I could jump forward ten steps, straight to the good and the steady then I most certainly would.
But instead I hug myself better, telling me that this path is supposed to be this way. It is not quite clear, it is not easy, it is not smooth.
It is full of obstacles and it requires bravery and honesty and a bit of pain.
And it is supposed to be this way.
Because after all this, in ten steps time, however long it takes, it will be good. It will be steady.
I will feel lighter than today.
