The energy it takes to pull my feet from this earth seems insurmountable. Each step burdensome cumbersome massive. I lift my head seeing the sunlight breaking through the darkness ahead. Just a sliver. Hope. I advance determined to reach the cloudless space. A deep breath. My conviction wavering. Fragments are found somewhere deep inside. Another step. A small victory. Another step. I feel warmth coming from the light. One last step... Triumph. Copyright (C) 2019 Penny Wilson

*All is well, my friends. This post started out as something very dark but turned around for me. (I never know the path my muse will take.) I think it says that the light IS peeking through for me. As always, thank you for joining me on this journey. ❤ Penny

Keep walking everyday
consistency is power
keep moving toward that ray
each step build the willpower
You’ve reached triumph
you just kept walking
now you know the science
every little step made the difference
toward joy and from depression
to reach its deliverance.
