Endurance <
'Most certainly sorry that happened to you...
'Most certainly "SHAME ON THEM!"... not on you.
It will be a challenging road forward, as you already know.
Day by day, as is often said, may 'suffice'...
however, in reality... it will be "Moment by Moment".
'and that's okay.
Remember to allow your moments of strength to become
the stepping stones of endurance that will see you through
the moments of frailty.
Remember to remind yourself that those moments of
frailty will indeed pass... & eventually... fade away.
You're most certainly on the right track... it is not "this" that
defines you.
It is "YOU" who will define you again & again,
over & over...
via the sum total of your own inner successes & failures.
Remember that both (success & failure) are our dear
companions... each provides an invaluable highlight to
help us recognise where and how we should focus our
growth effort(s).
'Continue to be who you have been, who you are, and
who you wull become.
Blessed are those who shall endure all injuries put upon
them and find still the inner strength to go on.
May contentment be your companion through life.
