"There is no more — a higher calling — than raising children who are kind, who live with grace and who are going to be generous human beings in the world. There isn’t anything greater than that."

Working Through It

I had a really bad day.
Feels like everything that could have gone wrong, did.
There's nothing worse than a bad day where you can't even
pinpoint why it's been so bad. Just a bunch of little broken pieces
created a mutiny against you and you had no choice but to surrender to it.
The very worst part?
 Turning to my comfort place only to find it's gone.

Do you ever feel like everything's a mess in your life even though you know you are blessed
and that tons of people would kill to be where you are? I do...

It's not a great feeling, let me tell you. Feeling not good enough just makes me crazy.
Makes me question everything I once thought was true.
It's overwhelming when I lay at night, trying to sleep and all the things I was
supposed to do but didn't get a chance to keep flashing in my mind.
Knowing I disappointed people, fell short on promises, wasn't my best self.

Feeling this way at a time I should be counting my blessings and feeling grateful
just makes me feel like a really crappy person.
You really can't help how you feel, can you?

I guess on days like these you just have to embrace it.
Take the time, feel the pain, lick your wounds, learn the lesson...

I just have to keep reminding myself to keep my eye on the big picture...
Keep repeating this mantra in my head, "This too shall pass..."
Things will get better. They may get a little worse first, but eventually, they will get better.

I hate days like these.


Oh, baby. I feel the same way.

  1. This too shall pass... and you shouldn't question and analyze things. You should just let it be, live and roll with the punches. And you may stop one day and find, that things aren't really as different as you thought they were.... I hope you can see that you are so blessed and loved...xoxo

  2. Ah Ponner . . . I feel ya. Don't let people bring you down. Who cares if you disappoint them, just let it roll off your shoulders. I've been learning to do that in these last couple months. Live to be you and make you happy. We need to find our bright shiny person soon. They have secrets they need to reveal. I'm hear for you.
    Love Boo
