Thoughts and Prayers for November 26, 2018

After waking up this morning I had some very dark thoughts about what I'm facing this week. This post is an effort to assure myself that I can face these challenges. People on this planet in droves are facing worse challenges. That only gives me some comfort. But I love life as hard as it is, and even when contemplating it getting harder and grimmer, I can still find a sense of persevering and that surrendering to those dark thoughts is not me.
