It's so darn easy to say life is so hard...
Y'know...
Every single day, my kids will ask me how work is.
And every single day, I answer "Work was work."
I don't say it in a joyful way.
I don't say it in a good way at all.
And quite frankly, I didn't think about this until yesterday, when I heard a new song on the radio.
The lyrics said something to the effect that it's so easy to say that life is hard.
And I realized how many times I sound negative, even when I'm not trying to be.
I'm not trying NOT to be.
And in reality... My job can be very rewarding.
It's mostly rewarding.
I guess I just miss my old life sometimes....
I miss being home with the kids...
I miss those lazy afternoons spent discovering a nearby pond, or
sunny mornings spent bike riding and giggling.
I miss the sleepy eyes of my kids, coming up to have breakfast...and the promise of exciting adventures at the beginning rays of the day.
And I suppose I've dwelt on those thoughts....
so much that I haven't really put any effort in discovering new joys.
And in honor of my 40th birthday tomorrow,
I am going to be more positive, talk more positively, and act more positively.
