Grab On

I never really thought about the passing of time. It was always something in retrospect. I can fondly recall so many awesome periods in my life. College anyone? Yet this year has been on warp speed.

Watching a little human grow right before my eyes is magical. I've watched her grow from a grunting newborn, to tummy time expert to almost toddler. 

It's been a year. Honestly not one of my favorites. Along with the good often comes the not so good (how else would we appreciate the good)? It's been a tough year. From struggling to return to the office (and still struggling) to David's recent injury I'm not sure I'll recall 2015 as a favorite. 

I have so much on my plate these days I would be lying if at times I didn't feel completely overwhelmed. Trying to give 100% of yourself with all the hats you wear is, well, impossible.

So while this is more for me I hope you found some words of encouragement in case you needed it. 

Just remember every day you wake up is a good one. Even if some of the days all you're doing is tying a knot and hanging on.

Now excuse me I'm off to hug my dog.
