Something was in the air yesterday. Maybe it was a new moon. My good friend Jean swears all bets are off when the new moon comes along. Maybe it was just coincidental, but it seemed that everyone within my circle was having a rough day. I felt it in our household, Alan was dealing with work frustrations, my 86 year old neighbor and friend was suffering from a nasty stomach bug. Kids were acting buggy, mamas were hormonal, babies weren't sleeping, toddlers were coming down with yet another round of colds, freeway lanes were closed, traffic was crawling and everyone just needed to get through the day. The sun sunk down last night and a new one rose this Friday, bringing with it joy and a sense of peace. It's Friday, all! We're almost there, relief is in sight.

Thursdays are always the most difficult day of the week for me. Mentally, the weekend just seems so far off and I am tired from a busy week. I brace myself, prepare for long Thursdays, but sometimes no matter what I do it just doesn't seem like enough. What can we do? We complain, we vent, we write, we read. When I need a little extra to get me through the day I often fire up the laptop and click straight over to Kelle Hampton's Enjoying the Small Things. She has the uncanny ability to coat everything with positivity. Unicorn-lover and eternal optimist, she inspires me. Today I read one of the most moving essays on her site, written by her good friend Elizabeth. I was reminded of the incredible power of the human spirit and the strength of a Mama's love. I have to share. Here it is: http://www.kellehampton.com/? m=1 Go check it out!
How strong we are when we accept life and all its challenges and just live. Live to the fullest. Happy Friday, friends!
