Simply Shitty

Some days are simply shitty and there is no other word to describe them.  Sometimes everything falls apart.  Sometimes everything is difficult.  Sometimes the journey is all uphill with sad reminders and big obstacles at every turn.

There are great days when we are moving forward and feeling victorious.  We made it through our list, we impacted someone's life, we felt the full measure of our potential and we know we are amazing.

Then there are the shitty days.  We thought we were through the muck, but now we're in it deeper.  While we are down the sky is dark and we can't see the way out.  We know it's there, but we can't see it.  We can't find the light.  Our only hope is to make our own light.  We have to remember it.  We can't see the sun, but we remember.  We remember how the sun breaks through the clouds.  We remember how the muck will eventually dry up.  We remember that the last time we felt this way, we found our way out.

Some days are simply dark.  Some days the light seems too far.  Some days are simply shitty.

Thank God it is only some days.  Some days are shitty, but there are a whole lot more that are amazing and beautiful and remind us that we can survive the shitty days and soon enjoy the amazing again.
