Power over Pain

I picked up my S today, too long has it been at rest. Not to be superwoman, but ready to regain my strength. I made the choice this morning to put on a smile and to my surprise it was no longer a painted display. At some point in the day it became authentically me moving through my cheeks up to my eyes. Taking the advice of yesterday to focus my mind in one direction gave me power over the pain, even if its just a little bit this one day; I was able as my mother would say to tell my heart to shut the hell up. All I can say is it felt pretty darn good. I think I'll make the same choice again tomorrow!!
