I’ve finally started to understand that life seems to be a moving target.
It took a lot of bumps, bruises and falls to realize that every day isn’t going to be a win.
I have days where I don’t want to get out of bed, and just taking a shower seems to be a monumental task.
But there are also days when I hop out of bed, ready to conquer the world and I feel like I can do anything.
There’s no rhyme or reason to why my days are a hodgepodge of ups and downs, but I guess that’s just how life works.
I don’t have all the answers and most of the time, I don’t even know the questions.
It’s a battle to slap a smile on my face at times, while other days I can’t stop laughing.
I’ve learned to take the small victories on the bad days- a stranger’s compliment, a delicious cup of coffee or even just a happy phone call with a friend-
That’s how I push through the hard times, the days when I can’t seem to find the energy or motivation to push harder and rise above.
But I know those are the days that matter most-when I have to dig deep, fight harder and really make the best of the worst stuff.
Anyone can sail through the easy days- we love the times when everything is going right, the world is good and anything seems possible..
No, I’m a warrior spirit that finally understands that life isn’t about the big victories or the easy days, it’s about finding the light on the bad days and pushing your way through to whatever small joys you can see through the storms.
So, yeah, it will rain and pour, and storms may threaten to wash away my resolve, but I’m no longer letting those days define me.
I’ve stopped asking for the rain storms and challenges to cease.
Now, I’m strapping on my boots, putting on the best smile I can find and tackling my days head on.
I’ll still get wet, I’ll still slip and fall, but at least now,
I’m learning how to dance in the rain.
