It’s about showing up

by | Oct 17, 2017 | Parenting, Poetry

They say how you show up in one area of your life is how you show up in all of them.

 

Showing up with smiles on the first of several 12 hour flights.

Parenting is like writing this blog.

It’s about showing up.

Consistently, reliably, on time.

Whether I feel like it or not, whether my hair is having a good day or not.

Showing up, and putting out content, showing up and loving my daughters, in however they need that to look today.

Every single time.

Without the ability to see if what I am doing is really working, if it is failing, if anyone at all is listening.

But still, I show up.

On the good days, on the bad days, and most importantly on the mediocre days.  Those always seem the hardest.

Here I am.  Are you here?  Is there anyone out there?
