Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough. Take your stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you.

Her hands had known
and touched and felt
the best and the worst
that life had to offer.
They’d held a newborn
they’d kneaded bread
they’d mended sweaters

soothed a boo boo
prayed to God.

triumph and joy
sorrow and love.
It is important that we take the time to celebrate even our small victories.
It's time to take a step back and realize that instead of focusing on all that we're not getting done, we should be focusing on all that we are getting done. I call this the Celebrate the Small Victories approach. This will make for a much happier existence, boost your self-esteem by placing focus on the positive and likely make you even more productive.
Today I decided to forgive you. Not because you apologized or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves peace.
