Sometimes Just Breathing



I am a fighter and a survivor. I am always looking for answers, always striving, wanting to thrive. I get up in the morning and look for ways to go on. I look for the positive. I look for the blessings and count them but in spite of all of my efforts and in spite of my strong will a lot of times all I can do is keep breathing and it simply has to be enough because that is all I can do.

Becky said it well. This song was by Sarah Schieber when she lost her husband during a marathon. From this I know that others feel the same way and that it is alright. Today I was going to paint the bathroom. I lost all motivation and drive. Today I am just going to breath.

Gosh, I wish I could offer some wonderful advice but I don't have any and really I think everyone needs to deal with such a devastating loss in their own way. So, do what you need to and if somedays it is just breathing then so be it...

I agree with Lucy! If that's all you can do, then that is what you should do. Praying for you!

I love the song you posted.

You are a fighter and never fail to find the positives in life.

Good for you for taking a moment for yourself to just breathe.
