I’m having an Eyore kind of day.
I debated whether or not to even share it.
I try so hard to keep things upbeat and positive on my blog.
Focus on the blessings, on the good things.
Today I can’t list them.
I’m trying, but I just can’t.
I’m feeling down.
disappointed.
dishartened.
frustrated.
ready to throw my hands in the air.
My heart is heavy, it’s burdened.
And to make it more of an Eyore day, my daughter woke up sick.
Poor thing has a runny nose and cough and all I can think about it how much I need to get done and how her needing to possibly stay home from school tomorrow will throw a wrench in my plans.
It’s so selfish.
I need something good to happen.
Wait. scratch that. who knows if that will make me feel better.
I hate being vulnerable!
Have a I said that?
Did you know that about me?
I don’t like it at all.
But today I can’t help it. I’m drowning in my own discouragement.
I need a day off.
I need a whole day to myself to just work and get stuff done.
I need sleep.
I need someone to come help me take pictures of all the new Snuggies I’ve made.
My list is so selfish.
What I really need is a day alone with my Heavenly Father. I wish he could come walk with me through a field and remind me of all the reasons he loves me.
I need that today. I need that everyday.
I need to regroup.
refocus.
re-something…..
I don’t know. I can’t even see past my Eyore day.
Hoping tomorrow will be a better one.

I wish I had some words of wisdom, but all I have is some (virtual) support and hugs. I am sorry you are having this kind of day, I have had them too.

Me too. Me too. On pretty much every account except the sick kid…I'm trying to focus on my own blog post today…that I wrote because I need to hear it more than I needed to say it…because the one I started was all about my yuckiness. So I'm praying your day has improved and you have found time to take your pictures and that God has wrapped His arms around you and reminded you of why you are so important to Him.

awe… Go lock yourself in your room and watch Housewives of Beverly Hills! It makes me feel better 😉

Awww…we've all been there. But remember: you said you wished you could take a walk with your Heavenly Father. He IS right there, even if you're not in a field:) Hes right there. Just call out to Him. Be real. Be YOU. Tell him what hurts, tell Him about the disappointments. (Just dont let anyone walk in on you or they may think you've gone over the edge, haha).
Im saying one for you today.
And dont ever shy away from being yourself on your blog. We admire authenticity!

I have those days too. They are a bummer…but real. They happen. Usually sleep and a desperate plea to my Heavenly Father help. Hang in there. If you need to chat message me on Twitter and I'll give you my cell. ♥

You are amazing, Alissa! From the day I met you this past summer to now, you've made incredible things happen in your life and the life of others, including mine. You've inspired me like I've never been and I am so grateful that God put you in my life. I know you will get past this bump in the road and continue to do amazing things.
I hope your day is better tomorrow.
