Some Days

Some days just jump up and without warning, knock all the energy out of you.

Leave you weeping on the floor, surrounded with laundry to fold, dishes to wash, toys to pick up.

Realising how much more forgiveness is still needed - especially for yourself.

And you can tell yourself over and over again that these feelings have to be felt along with all the hope, boldness, and fearlessness that most days bring.  You tell yourself that time will settle new roles, new realities, new relationships into a gentleness that is easily explained, easily seen, easily understood.

But you know that nothing can be promised, nothing can be expected, nothing can be predicted.

All you know is in this moment, you feel this.
