February 4. No Filter Wednesday.

You are. Trying.

Trying to find Motivation.

Trying to get a walk in.

Trying to find something that’s legal that is stronger than coffee.

You are. Waiting.

Waiting to go into watch your child read at Mass for the first time.

Waiting to finish pumping in the bathroom at work.

Waiting to Teach your next class, and hoping you are getting it right.

You are. Almost. Ready.

Getting ready for School after years of being on a break.

Getting and soaking every single second out of maternity leave.

Getting ready…well almost…close to convincing yourself you are ready for today.

You are…

My inspiration.

Because I have this sinking-lingering-everyday -weeklong feeling that I am…

Not trying hard enough…

Not being patient while waiting…

Not ready for what today has. Because today has to be better. It has to be. Because this sinking feeling says I’m failing.

I am so tired. But I am inspired.

Because…You are beautiful.

Real.
