Life in a box... survival

Most days I feel like I’m just surviving.

I get up at 5am to workout, then I get the kids to school, I get to work, I get home, and get dinner made, my counseling, my group, or my kids counseling, my kids do their chores, then if I have laundry to do.

I’m doing all that and running around trying to go through the UnWed feed to figure out who needs help or encouragement or a good laugh.

It seems as if I’m just barely getting by although I guess sometimes I forget (which I was reminded) that my survival mode is probably someone else’s goals.

Sometimes, I forget that the things that I get done during the day could be things that other people struggle to even accomplish. I take those things for granted because it’s difficult for those people who don’t have the time or the ability.

I think sometimes I forget to recognize the good things that are going on in my life like my kids doing great in school. My oldest is going to graduate early, my other two kids are the top with her class. My kids have bank accounts and savings accounts. I have amazing kids who are doing fantastic in the situation that they’re in.

I guess the point would be: one person‘s survival mode is another persons goals that they are struggling to accomplish and vice versa.

Managing to get through the day and get the things done that need to get done is enough and I should be thankful for that.

I should be thankful for everything.

Especially the fact of my ass looks phenomenal in my jeans!
