Be proud of your scars. They have everything to do with your strength, and what you’ve endured. They’re a treasure map to the deep self.
Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step.
Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.
