Sometimes it’s hard

Sometimes it’s hard to balance the chaos of homework and dinner.

Sometimes it’s hard to explain perseverance to a 7-year-old who wants nothing more than to skip this one difficult piano piece.

Sometimes it’s hard to help a 6-year-old build a robot that looks like a dinosaur.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to shower or fix my hair or change out of my yoga pants.

Sometimes Even once it’s hard to hear your son say he’s not sure his parents love him.

Sometimes it’s overwhelming to try to understand why scary things happen to good people.

Sometimes it’s hard to help when you’re not sure if anything you do is ever enough.

Sometimes it’s hard to watch two people who are so alike crash so vehemently.

Sometimes it’s hard to hear yelling and frustrations when this is supposed to be the dream.

Sometimes it’s hard to continuously play the optimist.

Sometimes it’s hard.

    Yea, sometimes its hard. But that what makes it all worth it. You’ve done hard before and came out with flying colors. Keep your chin up, hug your family and just think, one more month of writing. Just one more month. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
