When the Going Gets Tough

This year has been challenging in so many ways. I, like many, have had to create new ways of replenishing myself when I need to be recharged. Every month I have an opportunity to chat on a group Facetime call with all of my good girlfriends from college. Last night we connected, comforting one another as election results were revealed. I really enjoyed chatting about recent political issues and talking about the future of our nation. We prayed and laughed all in the same call. In times like these, I am grateful for genuine people who allow me to be myself and share my thoughts and opinions in an unbiased forum. In a normal year, we would have an opportunity to have this moment in person, but I am ok with the circumstances because it, at least, affords me the opportunity to chat in the comfort of my own home. When the going gets tough, I am thankful for meaningful relationships with those who help me grow and encourage me in difficult times.
