The Well

     Our inner strength, that deep well of grit that we have come to depend on. There are times when I've had to dig deep into that well, times that I have scraped the bottom and come up with less grit then I felt I needed at the time. Sometimes I have felt like my well of strength is dried up, nothing left, that the only choice I had was to just hold on, to stay my position. My strength isn't really all used up, I've just lost sight of it. In the jumbled mess of my thoughts, my emotions, my anxiousness at what I am going through at that moment my focus on my inner strength becomes obscured. Time to step back, breathe, readjust my position. Plant my feet and square my shoulders. Regain my focus on that inner strength. Keep having the faith to move forward, even if it is just baby steps.
