this week's mantra

"I am only capable of doing: what I am capable of doing."

this past few weeks has been emotionally, physically, and mentally taxing. at times, beyond my limits. it's hard for me to admit that. but, once you recognize that you are only human and you have limits... it makes not being able to go beyond them feel a lot more comfortable.

Christmas shopping today, I saw an organizer/calendar for Mothers that was literally called "do-it-all". when did we start expecting ourselves to be superhuman? as much as we'd like to tell ourselves we can. we can't. we are human. we need things like sleep and sustenance.

so maybe there are days when I don't accomplish everything that I could, but I take comfort in knowing there will never be a day when I accomplish more than I can.
