Drawing Strength

So a friend, after listening to the story I've told to many others after returning home unexpectedly, asked a curious question.

Where do you draw your strength from?

No one had ever inquired that of me. Truth be told, it wasn't particularly hard to answer.

I don't have to...look for sources of strength. Isn't the bond between a mother and son enough?

Some look to religion, friends, sports etc to cope with hard situations. This complicated situation hasn't made me struggle (much) but did make me realise that one doesn't have to rely on something or someone for strength. Sometimes it's just inside.

With an ability to find joy in pigging out on good food and whipping up decent meals, my strength has more than enough company for the moment. Cheers to good food. That's what keeps my strength up every morning. Oh and of course love.
