MeSSy MoNDaY!

Today has been a MeSS! This day has tested me in every way...It has tested my Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical states of being. Which I guess is very fitting for the fact that I had a goal to write a blog everyday, I had jotted down some ideas of what I would focus on for each day of the week, one idea for Monday was "Messy Monday" Well I got my MeSSy MoNDaY whether I was settled in on the idea or not. Although it's nearly the end of the day and I do not wish to include all that made my day a MeSS, I did run across this poem that makes me feel some kind of strong. So as I lay here in bed ready to call it a night, I can be rest assured that tomorrows a new day and by god I am tough and I am going to be alright...

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

– William Ernest Henley
