i did my best...

And we're back... New Year, not so new me. Still a procrastinator, still too sarcastic for my own good... but I am going to try to be better about getting content out there to share with everyone!!

and starting off strong, this week's motivational monday brought to you by a card that just lays it right out there....

i was immediately transported back to a comedy skit about coming home, falling to your knees, and having a good cry while repeatedly saying "i did my best, i did my best..." and while that bit was meant to be funny, there's a lot of heavy truth in those four little words.

your best is just that- YOURS. and some days its big and new and exciting, and some days its surviving. but your best should always be celebrated, and your best is always enough - big or small!

anyways, today was one of those days - navigating negative temperatures & dangerous windchills while dealing with poop-filled water buckets, frozen shut doors, rogue chickens and cold kittens - today life was a B-I-T-C-H. so i did my best for the day.

today, my best was surviving. today, my best was doing my daily chores without any casualties. and tomorrow? i'll do my best again, and if i'm lucky, all these bests will add up to a pretty good year.
