How to Have a Good Day

I didn't think I had anything to say today.  I feel like I've said the same thoughts over and over.  I keep having the same thoughts.  I keep relearning the same lessons.  I keep learning what I can do and what I can't.  I keep learning what makes me strong and what makes me weak.  I keep learning and relearning how to be victorious over a day.

I suppose that is what I have to say.  Not every day will go well.  Not every moment will feel amazing. If we were to keep count, there are probably more tough days and difficult moments than the other way around, but that doesn't matter as much as the victory over the difficult moment or the strength we gather from the tough day.

It is a battle.  It is a battle to remain strong, to stand firm, to find joy, and to achieve victory.  We must not weary in engaging in this battle.  We must not weary in moving forward.  When our arms are tired from carrying the load, we have to learn what part of the load we can leave behind.  When are legs are weary from the climb, we must look for an alternate route that will still get us there, but not beat us up too much along the way.  When our mind is overwhelmed with the lists and the tasks, we have to learn how to rejoice in what we have accomplished rather than beat ourselves up over what remains on the list.

I say we, I am still daily learning how to successfully balance all these things and make my load just right for what I can do.  I am still learning which steps to take and which pieces to lay down. The only truly bad day will be the day that I didn't learn, try, or venture into the difficult.  Good days aren't the easy days.  Good days are the days where we didn't stop fighting.
