Have you ever had those days that you were not really sure that you wanted to wake up? The more the days goes on…you know that you should have not even gotten out of bed? Well, this was my day!! Nothing seemed to go right. Everything I touched broke or ended up in a disaster. I was upset at the world but…most of all…I was upset with myself. I felt like I was literally sinking. That I could not keep my head above water. It was an awful feeling… A feeling that I do not like. A feeling that literally scares me.
Then, all of a sudden, the scene from Finding Nemo came into my mind…”just keep swimming, just keep swimming!” Oh, how I love that movie. Then, I realized…I don’t have to be Grumpy Gills today, I only have to take one step at a time. I don’t have to conquer the world—the entire world—right this very minute. I don’t have to solve everyone’s problems…I can’t. I can be there for them and I can help them…but, I don’t have to do it all in a day. I only have to take one step at a time and “just keep swimming”!

Kids are a blessing, but with them, I certainly feel that many days are 'just keep swimming' days.
Here's to less days as Mr. Grumpy Gills
