Sometimes

Sometimes live is just hard.  

Sometimes despite knowing, intellectually, how blessed you are–it is still JUST HARD.

And I could go on.

The truth is that I’ve been having a really hard time lately.  And that I know, intellectually, that I need to be counting my blessings.  And I do.  But it doesn’t change the allure of my bed, and the frustration that I feel, and the reality that I am Just.So.Very.Sick&Tired of some of the bullcrap of my life.

And it is so very possible to be tired of the bullcrap while also being grateful for the magnitude of your blessings.  And it is so very possible to be grateful and FRUSTRATED at the same time.

The reality of the nature of life and existence seems to be one of struggle.

And I am struggling.

But as I have said this to others, I have realized how many of us feel the same.  And I just want you to know that you aren’t alone.  I am struggling too.

And it’s okay that we are.

Everything is going to be okay.  We’re gonna make it.

And until then….there’s cake.
