you are capable

The Ranch at Hico, spring 2016

I had a meltdown via text recently, my friend responded with three words:  you are capable.  She resent this message several times in a row, you are capable, you are capable, you are capable.  I uttered it to myself until I believed it, then I proceed with the task at hand.  I certainly didn't feel capable at the time her message came in, I felt quite inadaquite and ill prepared for my situation.  You are capable!  I keep saying it over and over.  The last few days have perhaps been some of the most difficult days of my entire life, yet I find myself capable.  Do you know the lyrics to the Beatles song With a little help from my friends, I get by with a little help from my friends, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.  The song is about love and friends and needing help to get by.  Comfort can be found in small messages, it can carry you through.  You are capable.  You are capable.  You Are Capable, and so am I.
