LJI- Week 0
I have a saying that I shout out each morning before my kids run out to the bus. "Be good, be nice, be kind, behave. I love you and I'll see you at pickup!" It's a reminder for them. Be on your best behavior. Be your best. It's a reminder for me too, though it's not presented that way. Life is stressful, so I like the reminder that each day is fresh and new and open to possibilities. I also refuse to let an opportunity pass to tell my children that I love them. Life is short. I am determined to say what I need to say.
I am tired and overworked. I am spread too thin. Sometimes, I am quite in love with my life, and other times I feel like it's a struggle to get out of bed. I am grateful for every moment- good and bad, and that makes the bad part a little easier to swallow. I'm getting older, even if I don't want to accept it. I heal more slowly. With each passing year, I feel convinced that I've learned more, but the amount I have to learn also rises exponentially. How did I "know it all" when I was 19?
There is no more room in my life for drama. Instead, there are just many things that need to get done, and more things I'd like to get done, and not enough time for all of those. So I just try to balance them all. It's a challenge, and I don't always win, but that's life. That's MY life.
