Lately I’ve been having difficulty getting the words out. My thoughts are disjointed paragraphs, and maybe that’s a reflection of life right now.
Lately I’ve been studying Gracie and Cooper’s faces, hoping I won’t find any signs of aging—but I do. And I think it’s the cruelest joke of all that man’s best friend doesn’t live nearly as long as man.
I cry often lately. Can’t blame it on PMS either (or pregnancy—might as well throw that out there). Maybe it’s just change.
Lately I’ve had a strong desire to get organized and finish projects. I think it’s an important step that needs to be taken before other, bigger steps.
Lately I’ve realized that I can only do me. I can’t do someone else. But I can sure do a better me than anyone else can.
Lately I’ve been placing happy little things in strategic places where I know I’ll see them, and I know they’ll make me smile.
Lately I have been happy, despite sometimes being sad.
And lately, I think I’m realizing that’s key—accepting life as it comes at you, every single day. Some days will be better than others. Some days (like yesterday! sheesh!) you will just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and stay there the entire day, and on days like that, it’s important to just treat yourself, if you can. To celebrate life by doing something that you love (like watching Harry Potter… not that I did that), and understand that tomorrow is another day and a new chance.
Today is that new chance. And I’m happy to take it.
