The Day Doesn’t Care…..

The day doesn’t care how tired you are, it still demands to be lived.

One thing I learned pretty early when I was diagnosed with cancer is that feeling sorry for myself was counter-productive. The world keeps turning and so I realised that I had to do the same.

This got me thinking about ‘the day’. We all get one and it’s up to us how we live it. The day itself will happen regardless and won’t care about us.

1. The day doesn’t care how heavy your legs feel, it still waits to be climbed.
2. The day doesn’t care how overwhelmed you feel, it still keeps ticking.
3. The day doesn’t care how ready you are, it still spins on.
4. The day doesn’t care how dark your thoughts are, it still rises.
5. The day doesn’t care if you’re afraid, it still storms in.
6. The day doesn’t care how slow you move, it still stretches out before you.
7. The day doesn’t care how bruised you feel, it still needs you to fight.
8. The day doesn’t care how much you’ve already done, it still calls your name.
9. The day doesn’t care how little you’ve slept, it still breaks.
