The ups and downs

There are just those days.

Those days that everything feels like too much. Like you are treading water and are never going to get ahead. Days where the kids fighting never ends, the screaming doesn’t cease, nothing is right and everyone needs something from you NOW.

Those days, the days I can’t seem to “handle”, don’t come often but when they do I certainly don’t like how I feel or the self pity that comes along with them.

And then…you get an email from a dear old friend telling you of the rapid decline in her lovely father’s health.

And then…you read about the horrible abuse her Uncle’s baby boy has had to live through at the hands of his babysitter.

And then…your friend’s words resonate in your head and you take in the pain and suffering that they are dealing with.

Then…then is when you quickly gain perspective on the day you thought was so bad.
