31. little victories

question:

what do you do when things are broken? when you've ruined your life and it's in scattered shards all over the floor?

answer:

you keep going.

step. by. step. until things make sense again.

wake up. check.
shower. check.
brush teeth. check.
go to work. check.
come home. check.
wash the dishes.
do the laundry.
walk the dogs.
cook (or, let's be really honest here - order in).
eat.
sleep.
repeat.
repeat.
repeat.

repeat until things seem normal again.

it isn't easy. getting out of bed is usually the hardest part. but as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll make it. step by step. until yesterday is a week ago. and then it's a month ago. and then, eventually, it was a year ago and the scars are almost invisible.

it isn't easy. but we have to celebrate the little victories. make every single moment count. and keep going.

  1. Anthony, God only knows what was the catalyst for this but I want you to know that you've got some very concerned friends. Yep, you've told us that you're not good at keeping in touch with friends but then neither am I. I would really like to know that you're okay - and also for you to know that literally thousands of people love you and care about your welfare. Love, love, love.
