Skittles: cookies and the flue

There will be times that try you and test you. There will be those months that push you to the limit. When it takes everything to even do the little things and you have all done all but given up. It is in these moments where I will put my hand on your shoulder and say one more minute. You can make it another hour. For those weeks where everyday you wake up wishing you hadn't I will be there saying just one more, you can make it through another day. And maybe making it another day means spending it in bed unable to get up. Maybe it means a glass of water and some crackers because cooking something is too much. I want to tell you that's okay. And I am glad that you found it in yourself to do it. There are months where the simple thing like making it through my morning routine seem more overwhelming than addressing the general assembly. But I have done both and facing myself in the mirror while I brush my teeth on a bad day was just as hard as looking my Governor in the eye and telling him how to run the state. So I want to tell you don't feel unaccomplished in the feats you've achieved to day. Your still here and everyday you fight off thoughts, fears, doubts, and dark space is a day you've earned. Plus I need you cuz where you see a strong hand on your shoulder helping you through the day I see someone who has lost their balance and was glad they found a shoulder to lean on and not the cold hard ground.
