Girl On Fire

Hello world, first post. I was driving to work this morning with my mom in the car and I'm going through a phase in my life when I feel incredibly blessed and yet incredibly inundated with work and responsibilities.

Maybe I could do with a little less.

Anyway I was talking with my parents and since I'm a really 'Get It Done' kinda gal when I was sitting down feeling frustrated their first reaction was to tell me I was complaining too much and that it was really unlike me.

Anyway one thing led to another, which led me to feel incredibly frustrated when I walked into work this morning and I found this online.

Girl On Fire
there is a girl

she is wise
and wary of flames
but still, she knows
she will survive the fire
life scorches sometimes.

she has been a phoenix
before
and every time 
she burns to ashes
she knows
exactly how to rise
again.

If anyone who reads this derives even the slightest bit of fortification that I did, know that you are entitled your frustrations and your complaints. Sometimes we all just need to sit down with a large glass of wine and feel like all we have worked for up to this point has been hopeless. But you know what, we're better than all that. So I know I'll grouse all I want, but I also know that I'm going to get things done in my own manner and time.
