"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."
This is Part of the Human Experience
