Day 1

Today I am thankful for friends near and far. I was feeling pretty low today. Work has been pretty stressful and learning to balance motherhood and my professional life has been a challenge. I expect so much of myself that I get caught up in being perfect. I forget there is no such thing as perfect. Today my bottled emotions made me physically hurt. It was only when I leaned on a friend that I began to feel better. That opened up to another cathartic conversation with another friend. Later I texted 2 friends struggling with the motherhood job balance thing and realized I'm not alone. I'll never be perfect but as long as I have dear friends to support me I'll be fine.
