On The Hard Days

Some days are just harder than others.

It doesn’t mean life isn’t good and it doesn’t mean we aren’t blessed.

It just means we’re human.

It just means sometimes life throws things at us regardless of whether or not we’re prepared.

Regardless of whether or not we want what we’re getting.

And with no discrimination.

It’s an equal opportunity kind of thing.

And even when we know the opportunity is ours to respond in ways that make the most of what we’re handed,

every time,

it’s okay to be gentle with ourselves on the hard days.

It’s okay to let the hard days be what they are

and to let ourselves feel what we feel.

We’ll get back up

and we’ll get through it

but on the hard days,

let’s just love ourselves

and

each other.
