Things are hard today

Every so often a hard day comes along without a why.  The answers to how are you doing and what's going on are entirely different. Staying inside and ignoring all of the things that must be done seems very tempting -- but today you know that it serves no purpose but to make tomorrow hard too. 

So I'm going to pull up my boot straps {do sandals have boot straps?!?} and walk forward one step at a time, one load if dishes, one corner cleaned. I'm going to take time to read, to pray, to just be. To do something fun for family night, to move forward even a little because I can do hard things.
