Day 10: The sun will come out, tomorrow

Because I've committed to blogging daily, you're sure to catch me on a down day - and more than once. Today is one of those. Again. You see, divorce isn't all bubble-gum and roses. (How does that saying go again? Daisies? Lollipops? Well you get the idea). This morning was absolutely horrible. This afternoon was fabulous. And this moment is just plain blah. It's been a rough day, consumed with irritability and my struggle to overcome my awakened anger. (I just might blame it on my monthly mood swing).

I've been trudging through today, as dignified as possible, simply awaiting the arrival of tomorrow. I've experienced many highs today, for which I'm grateful, but my lows have been overwhelming. That's ok... it happens.

TODAY'S FOCUS: Several years ago I read "Don't sweat the small stuff," and the one thing that really stuck with me was the advice to be grateful in your high times and graceful in your low. I've said this often over the years, and on a day (or week) like today, it's what helps gets me through. So the next time you experience a low, give yourself a break. We all have them. Say a little prayer and sleep it off. I know I will.

QUOTE: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
