I had such big plans for today. I was excited to blog about them. I was so optimistic. And then it fell apart around noon. In a pretty big way. So I was going to write about that. Since then, I’ve talked to too many people, including Brady, who had horrible days. It seems like everyone is pretty bummed today. I don’t think laying out the details of the day will make anyone out there feel any better, especially myself. So instead, I’m going to sort of opt out of a long, interesting post.
There is SO much to look forward to! I have company and plans all day tomorrow, which I am greatly anticipating!!! Wednesday is chill and not booked up yet, and Thursday will be packing and getting ready for this weekend!!! Jerilee took Friday off, and so did Brady, so he could stay home while us girls go on a weekend trip. I have been looking forward to our weekend away for weeks now, and after today, I’m scratching at the doors to leave tonight, hahaha!
All things considered, today was actually good. I think. If I look really closely, I see positives and success and learning and all kinds of good. I see that it was a hard day, but those don’t have to be bad. I had a friend remind me that I don’t have to pretend not to be scared about stuff. I agree with the “don’t let fear hold you back” idea, but that doesn’t mean we have to necessarily deny fear. We can go into situations fully peeing our pants with fear, barrel through, and come out scared on the other end. Its ok to be scared sometimes.
I vote early bedtime. I want to be nice and refreshed for tomorrow 🙂 I think I’m making apricot chicken. I’m newly in love with that meal, and can’t seem to get enough. It helps that its painfully easy, also. Anyone else? Just me? Thats cool.
