If you’ve visited my blog before you’ll know that I try to keep my posts positive. I do truly believe that this is a beautiful world, full of wonderful people and that life really is glorious.
I am working to foster a positive outlook, not just in myself but in my children too.
I honestly feel that there is always, always something to be thankful for.
But, at the same time, I have to be honest and admit that some days are just hard.
Some days it’s hard to get out of bed at 5.30 am when you’ve been up in the night with a child who’s having bad dreams.
Some days it’s hard to get anything done with 2 children around, constantly demanding your attention.
Some days it’s hard to cope with the constant noise and commotion.
Some days it’s hard to know where to start when you look at the piles of washing, the dirty floors and the dust-covered surfaces.
Some days it’s hard to think, let alone hold a proper conversation, when your brain is frazzled from an endless to-do list.
Some days it’s hard to express to your stressed partner how truly grateful you are for everything they do and how much you love them.
Some days it’s hard to walk away from your crying child who wants one more hug at the classroom door.
Some days it’s hard to believe that you have the talent, the skills and the guts to make your dreams come true.
Some days it’s hard to remember all the things we have to be thankful for.
Some days are just hard.
And you know what, that’s ok. Life may be glorious, but it’s certainly not always easy.
Some days are just hard.
But tomorrow we get to start again, and with a new perspective (and maybe a bit more sleep!) tomorrow will be a better day!
In case this has left you in need of a pick-me-up, here are a few of my more positive posts:
*hugs*
Oh yes. Today I was sending aggressive emails to spammers on my email account at 7.05 am because some days are hard x
Thank you for the hugs! And love that comment, sometimes we do need to just vent our aggression! x
Amen! I hear you… I was made redundant last week… Life is hard at the moment – but I’m looking so hard for the silver lining!! Was nice to see I’m not alone! #twinklytuesday
I’m so sorry to hear that things are hard for you at the moment, I’m a firm believer that things happen for a reason though. I’m sure you’ll find that silver lining soon. I took redundancy last year, and lots of people I spoke to at the time said it can be a real opportunity rather than a negative thing. xxx
O yes, some days are definitely just hard. What a brilliant capture of those days. A realistic view of many folks days. I suppose we wouldn’t have the rainbow without the rain hey, or the lemonade without lesson, or triumps without trials, or victories without challenges. It is the way of life and I think there’s something healing about accepting that some days are just hard and it’s not personal. 🙂 #WeekendBlogHop
Thank you, I was definitely having ‘one of those days’ when I wrote this post, glad to hear it’s resonated with others! x
You’re so right, some days are hard and it is unrealistic to think every day will be amazing, the challenge can be to not let those hard days get you down! X #twinklytuesday
That is the challenge isn’t it, allowing ourselves to feel those bad days and then find our way up again afterwards. x
Oh I agree, some days are just incredibly tough aren’t they, and then our little tinkers do something and make it all better don’t they?! People never said parenting was going to be easy did they?! Thanks so much for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
It’s funny how easily the little ones can make it all better! One smile or hug normally does it! x
You’re right, some days are just hard. Great post!!
Thank you! I think it’s important to acknowledge that we all have hard days sometimes! x
