A new day

It’s the last Monday of the school year, and man, does it feel like it. I’m exhausted, drained, and stressed.

There’s so much to do this week but all my energy is gone. The kids took it and are using it like their super power to drive us all nuts for these last few days of school.

I’ve been having a really hard time for the past few days. Something is going on in our lives that is making everything tough. Some day I might work up the guts to talk about it on a public platform, but for now it’s staying bottled up inside.

The worst part is, I can’t have my beloved coffee today. I’ve been struggling with bad acid issues in my stomach and can’t risk the pain of drinking coffee today. So here I am, drinking my sad little tea, trying to motivate myself to get up off this couch and take a walk so I can wake up enough to go to work today.

Here’s my reminder to myself for today. It’s a new day. It’s a good day. It’s time to get out there and enjoy it.

We have the power at any moment to turn things around, we only need to will it to be so. So here I am, willing myself to have a good day, and I hope you do as well.
