I was at Walmart checking out last night. The cashier started a conversation with me about how my day was going. I opted for honesty, after all, she was a stranger and many times it is easier to talk to strangers than someone you know. I told her I was having a rough day and had just "virtually cried on my mother in law's shoulder"
She was quick to sympathize. As our conversation continued, we both could relate to having stress build up to the point where we can no longer carry the load alone, in need of someone to help carry the burden or just listen at times.
This smart woman told me I should write about everything I go through and that my writing would be helpful to others like herself who just need to know they are not alone in the struggle.
So, here I am, writing my story.
Is anyone going to read it? Maybe
Are my struggles really going to resonate with others? Maybe
Regardless, I am going to do it. Write about my life. Write about the good time, hard times and wisdom I receive from God and others that helps me keep going, one more step, one more breath, one more day...
