Power Through

Brat Boy texted me that he had volleyball tryouts that night. His chronic heel pain was flaring up, and he’d felt a tightness in his quad he couldn’t stretch out.  Jumping would hurt.

‘What are you going to do?’ I texted back.

He replied, ‘Power through, not much else I can do.’

He’s right, I thought. Sometimes you can’t go around things, you can’t take a different path. As they say in AA, there’s no easier, softer way. 

Today I will power through.
