Heavy

There are times that life
is very heavy
Just living seems to 
take all my energy 
Last week took every
ounce just to work
and exist without
any extra motivation
to write, to spend time
with friends or to create
something artistic
I am grateful that I survived
but this next week
my goal is to survive and
try to add some joy
to my heavy days

Thank you, Line. I am finding that the key is to take steps of any size.
