Suffering

I had an epiphany last night.  This has been perhaps the hardest and most difficult year I've ever had, for a variety of reasons, the details of which I won't go into here.  The important realization is that for every punch I've taken, every time I've been knocked down or backwards, I've got back up and that is something to be proud of myself for.  This horrible year has increased my capacity to suffer, and I am stronger for it.  Knowing this in my heart fills me with a great confidence that whatever externalities come my way, I can handle them.  I can keep taking punches and I will keep going.  Bring it on!
