Strength and Resiliency

I am strong
I am resilient
Are you?

I stumble and make mistakes
but I learn
I am not my past
but my past has brought me here and given me coping skills
I am a work in progress
so far, pretty good progress is being made

I believe I can and will succeed
but it may take time
I know my strengths and build on them
I know my faults and weaknesses
though I try to not let them rule

Today I feel both strong and resilient
Today I have turned a mental and emotional corner
the path here was a struggle
and the path is filled with obstacles
But I am okay with that and I can smile

I see that people come into our lives for so many different reasons
I am recognizing some of the beauty in the choices of last year
Suddenly I am seeing some new realities

And it is okay
I am strong
I am resilient
