When I used to ask my dad how he was feeling, he usually told me he was “pushing”.  He also encouraged me to “push” when I would call him about something difficult or a current struggle.  “Just keep pushing” he’d say.  I believe his meaning was to keep getting back up and not give up/give in.  Now when I feel I’ve been knocked down or suffer a blow, I hear his voice and I “push”.   Difference is that not only am I continuing to get back up and fight, I’m also Praying Until Something Happens – P.U.S.H.

It’s rough out here!   Keep PUSHing!!!!
