#49/365--I Just Don't Know

Sometimes
...life...
can be so
...confusing...

it's hot
it's cold
frozen
then
melted

one minute
it's up
the next
it's down

one day
you get a
...yes...
the next
...a no...

some days
you know exactly
...what you are doing...
and other days
...everything goes wrong...

Is it like that
...for everyone...
or is it
...just me...
because
sometimes
life
feels
so
lonely
so
isolated
so
...remote...

There are those days
you go into the kitchen
and
bake up a batch of
...the yummiest...
taco soup
...ever...
then
other days
you end up
eating
...raw chicken...
and
burning your hand

Some days
you are a parenting
...genius...
the kids are
...agreeable...
everyone is
obedient
harmonious
participatory

Other days
you
...drop the ball...
you wake up late
kids miss the bus
you forgot to get groceries
there are no clean clothes
and
...everyone is behind closed doors...
shutting you out

Life.
...the rollar coaster that it is...
the tapestry that is being woven together
each puzzle piece
every twist and turn

each person who crosses your path

all the moments
good
and
bad
pieced together
to make

...a beautiful life...

flat tires
runny noses
angry texts
ruined dinners
forgotten homework
failing grades
mistakes made
lessons learned
wisdom gained
sunrises
sunsets
newness each morning
a happy text
a passing grade
a good choice made
a hug
a kiss on the forehead
...it all equals out...
in the end

after all
...is said and done...
every second
...is worth it...

...without the bad...
we wouldn't
...know...
the good
...without the night...
we wouldn't
...treasure...
the day
...without the dark...
we wouldn't 
...value,,,
the light
...without the storm...
we wouldn't
...appreciate...
...the calm...

Each moment
every memory
complements another
...and that makes the journey...
joyful
