I have had a rough couple of days. You know how it is when you feel like everyone is telling you that you need to improve at this or that...or that you're just not doing this or that well enough? Well, that's how the last few days have felt for me. I know I don't have to be perfect, but feel like I should be able to be successful at something. It has certainly been a challenge.
But, today has been better. Maybe it's because the sun was out? Maybe it because I spent the day exploring the movement of the sun and learning about clouds with my kids? Maybe it's because I drank enough water? Maybe it's because I actually felt productive? Maybe it's because my kids all napped? (Although not at the same time...) Maybe it's because I'm just tired of feeling blah?
While I'm not a fan of those blue moments, I am grateful that I have them. They expand me...push me to refresh my perspective...and remind me to enjoy the good days.

I think you are amazing, Amanda! You are a great Mom, wife, and human being--you were/are always there for advice, comfort, and words of wisdom. I know a compliment fest isn't what you had in mind when you wrote this, but I have often felt the need to write you and tell you how impressed I am by you, so thanks for giving me a forum. haha The blah days are pretty lame but they sure do make life's simple pleasures seem that much more great!
I hear you. Sometimes I just wish I could be really good at something. I know that's silly and I probably am good at some of the things I do, but those blah days/weeks can be rough. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
you are wonderful! I have been thinking about you lately and missing you. Maybe there was a reason, I should have called! I am glad you are doing better! Hang in there chica, you are great! One thing at a time right? :)
I love you Amanda. Thank you for your perspective on life.
I sometimes go through that range of emotions in one hour! Oh to be a woman is wonderful but hard work. The kind of work that you can't see. You are wonderful. I love your cooking blog BTW.
That is a great thought because yes, we do all have those days and we should be grateful for them. Thanks for your thoughts. And you ARE amazing no matter what people (or you) tell you
I have had a really busy month and so this is the first time I have visited your blog in a while.
This post reminded me of a conversation we had once about feeling less than perfect. I really needed that conversation at the time. It helped me see myself differently. So thanks for that. And this post because I needed to be reminded.
