So happy…so blissfully happy.
It has been so long since I felt this content with life and truly meant it.
There have been many times in my life that I was…faking it.
Smiling through the pain was my lackluster panacea:
When I ached inside, I smiled.
When I sobbed until my eyes burned, I smiled.
While I begged on my knees and prayed for God to take the pain away,
to make me be happy, I smiled.
When people’s barbed words pierced me, I smiled.
But no longer.
My mental health is stable.
My physical health is excellent.
My skin is clear and shining.
My hair is longer.
There will be obstacles in the future
but with God on my side, I know I will surmount any challenges sent my way.
How are you feeling today? Comment below 🙂
