Emotions

This is Part of the Human Experience

"There are days when I subsist on coffee and

a granola bar.

There are days when I eat three balanced meals

with 8 full cups of water.

There are days when I follow my

planner to the letter and,

There are days when I take six hour naps

instead of working at all.

There are days my friend, there are days.

There are days when I work out

and still grab the chunk of flesh

around my waist and wonder why

I can't get rid of those few extra inches.

There are days when I watch TV

and eat junk food and

still smile at my reflection knowing

I am everything I need to be.

There are days my friend, there are days.

This is life.

This is healthy.

This is the experience of

being alive.

I am learning how to do this

again.

I am learning.

That life is like a sine wave

sometimes above average

sometimes below

usually somewhere in the middle.

Always with infinite forward motion.

Consistency is not a straight line, it's

a range of acceptability.

So when I feel tired, I

will embrace it.

When I feel, ugly

healthy

productive

confident

out of shape

fill-in-the-blank

I will embrace it as part of

being 100% flesh and bone.

100% human.

Knowing I am not any one thing on

any one day and that time heals things and

the sun will rise on a new day and

it's up to me each day to decide

what I will do to move forward.

There are days my friend.

There are days, but I am learning."
