For the past few days I have been thinking about what I could say this week. I've been seeing real, raw, unremarkable life lately. Some of it is difficult, some is daily, most is the same each day.
Mistakes have been made. People are sick or weary. Celebrations have come and gone. I see people in passing or think about them throughout the day. It seems mundane. It seems simple, yet it isn't.
The basic, simple, everyday moments of life are the most precious. They are the moments we miss when the unexpected bangs on our door. Those are the moments we cling to when we miss our loved ones, when we feel weary or when we feel alone.
Whatever your life resembles right now, chaos or peace, find the simple moments to breathe in and remember who you are and that none of these unexpected difficulties can take you down.
On my most difficult days, I know my dog will greet me with her tail wagging and her rear end following close behind. She will rub on my legs and growl her loving growl letting me know she missed me and is happy I am home. She does this when I wake up in the morning also. She is thrilled that I have woken up to be with her. There is nothing that would keep her from greeting me, including a bandaged and wrapped foot and a cone on her head.
I know that I can see my family and they will be by my side whether my day was difficult or easy or mundane. I know that my friends who know me and care about me will be just around the corner no matter what my day or their day was like.
My world may get turned upside down. I may not know which direction is up or which direction I am going. I may feel overwhelmed and beat down, but the constants in my life will remind me that I am okay, will be okay tomorrow, and can rest in my constants while the storm rages around me.
