It Takes Work...

I sit here this morning hesitant to move my butt from the comfort of our home...I am tired this morning, not the usual desperately trying to wake up tired...something deeper !

In the past weeks there have been incredible highs, a few lows and just plain boring in between and yes I know its not all fairy floss and laughter...to receive in this life you must give out and keep giving, even when you don't think you have any more left.

It sounds like I am being negative, allowing my ego to direct my day, keeping me inside, at home where its safe and quiet...alone !

But the energy must be found, dredged up from who knows where to start the day, no doubt it is the same for all of us...but we ALL must keep moving forward to make something of our day.
For some its easier to dodge and swerve their way through life...this doesn't last, a price will have to be paid eventually !

For me, I find the energy. I remind myself of the love I have around me, the support that keeps me afloat and work I have yet to do...it would be easier to sit here all day until I find the sun dips, leaving me sitting in darkness, another day wasted.

I think back to my Father and the hours he would work until his body gave up...long before he did, for him there were few excuses, few what if's and maybe's...and very few choices other than moving forward !

There have been many pass through my life that have guided me, bullied me at times and I am all the better for it, without that nudge, that work ethic I would do a quarter of what I do...it takes work...there is no easy way forward.

So as tired as you feel, as much as you want to give up, you must keep going...if only for your own self preservation. There will come a time when you glance back over your shoulder and realize why it has been this way, you will see the great distance that has been traversed and hopefully you will remind someone that needs it that life is hard work...build what you can, while you can...make a mark that will be remembered, a signpost for others to follow...or you can just give up...its of your making...and yes, today and every other after you will find, it takes work !
