A Return Home

Today was a good day. We got a lot of school work done today and I was able to accomplish what I needed to for work. It is days like today that I am happy that we are doing what we are doing. I am not stressed. Things are running smoothly. I am smiling.

However, not everyday is like today. Sometimes it is very hard. It seems as if nothing gets accomplished, no matter how hard I am trying. Chaos seems to reign. Things look bleak and I am weary. The boy seems to be on edge during these days. One of us surely must break. Somewhere there is a light that we must strain to see.

It is on those days that I try very hard to remember the days like today. These are the days that get me through the difficult ones. These are the days that make everything worth it. These days are the sunshine in my life, and the light that beckons us onward. I appreciate these days, but only because I have the difficult ones.

The difficult days make me strong. They make the boy strong. They make the good days shine even brighter and our smiles become greater on these days. We even laugh more.

What do you do to make it through the dark days? How do you celebrate the good days? I’d love to hear about it.
