I try to find the beauty and wonderment in daily life.
I try to find the goodness in a day, even when the kids don't nap, they fight constantly, and nothing ever seems to go right.
I try to give grace to the PR person who sends me an email addressed to "Laura" or "Stacy".
I try to be okay with an overly tired husband, even when he's snippy and short with me.
I try to be content with everything we have and not dwell on everything we want.
I try to be grateful for the few moments for blue sky, in a week's worth of drear and cloudiness.
I try to say yes to play dates and girls nights, without feeling guilty for leaving my family at home.
I try to applaud the hard work and long hours of my husbands job, even though it limits how much he is at home with his family.
I try to appreciate the interactions between the kids, no matter how loud and messy they are.
I try to answer questions that show Jonah's intellect, even if I don't know the answers.
I try to write the words I feel in my heart.
I try to be the best me that I can be.
I try to do it all.
At least I try.

That's all we can do, right? And it's a lot. So we need to give ourselves a lot of kindness.
Thank you for Just Writing :)
Yes, this. I try, too.
It {almost always} feels good to try.
Cleverly, and thoughtfully, done!
I think trying is enough.
And then you just have to let it go and trust that it is and God will pour himself in and around the cracks.
I agree with Heather, sometimes that's all we can do. And it's half the battle!
The best thing you can do is "show up" no matter what you're feeling or the circumstance :).
