I am wounded too today, because of some stupid remark someone made the other day and I want to be bigger than letting it hurt but it did and it does and it has changed something at a level that makes me puzzled at my reaction.

And yet, your spirit never seems to flag, whether in joy or in gratefulness or in despair. <br />I think you have hit a wall and your mind has said, "Enough."<br />That's what it sounds like to me. <br />Don't fight this- whatever it is.
