Life is hard- a 4th grade boy said that to me today. I couldn't imagine how someone so young could even have a thought like that. Then it slowly made sense. Our society hasnt really had a reason to smile in a long time. Since the pandemic it seems that nothing is overly exciting or worthy of positive praise. Feel free to share what you think would be considered positive. Let's work on seeing the silver lining of all our situations. It cant hurt. RIGHT?

We are the children of parents who never went to therapy.

We are the sons and daughters of people who did the absolute best they could with the tools they were given.

We grew up in the spaces between the silences—the heavy quiet that covered everything left unsaid. We grew up under rules that weren't meant to be questioned and emotions that were tucked away until they became invisible. We learned to read body language instead of hearing words, surviving the uncertainty of the unspoken, searching for meaning in feelings that, for our parents, didn't even have a name.

This isn’t about judging their awareness; it’s about understanding that every generation carries the weight of its own history. Our parents were also children of a time when vulnerability was a luxury they couldn't afford, and self-reflection was a path rarely traveled. They were raised in a world where wounds weren't named—they were simply endured. A world where boundaries were either iron-clad or non-existent, and where love was proven through sacrifice, not through communication.

And yet, here we are. We are learning to name the things they couldn't say. We are identifying the fears that were passed down to us by accident. We are giving ourselves the right to feel without the crushing fear of judgment. Because healing isn't about pointing fingers; it’s about clarity. It’s realizing that what we received was simply everything they knew how to offer.

It’s about looking at their history with compassion—and our own with responsibility.

We are the children of parents who never went to therapy, but we have chosen a different road. It is up to us to move beyond what we were taught without resenting where we came from. To build something new without tearing down the past. To honor them without repeating their mistakes. We accept that while the past is set in stone, its echo can be transformed in our lives.

It’s our turn to hold our wounds with tenderness and turn them into sources of wisdom. We are the generation opening the door to new ways of loving, living, and simply being.

We get up every morning. Start our days in the habitual fashion. Rush through coffee, possibly start a "to do list" as we head out the door. Take a deep breath going into work. Tackle the day with the most anazing conviction. The clock is now at Quitting time- 5 stops on the way home. Preparing dinner, floating through small amounts of house work while helping with homework. Mentally preparing for tomorrow
As peace surrounds us. The world may be crazy now. But some things never change... We are blessed to be exhausted and still able to look forward to tomorrow.

How many times have you woken up to not know what day of the week it was? I think we have all done that a time or two. That is a sign that you are filled to your limit. Instead of feeling silly or shaming yourself step back and see what things on your "to do" list can be moved to the bottom or delegated to someone else. This goes for home or work life.
Don't let your cup run over and leave you half full. Take the opportunity to sit, relax and give yourself permission to refill your cup. Happy Monday

How is it even possible that we are nearing the end of month 2 of 2026?- As a young girl I heard many adults mention how fast time flies. I did the typical eye roll that kids do and went along my merry way without a second thought. Im feeling now that the so called 'second thought' came out of hiding and jumped directly into view with no way around it. Lately I find myselelf remembering things when I was growing up. I wonder if the memories are so special and so vivid because my children grew up in the same neighborhood with most of the same neighbors that i grew up with. They used the same woods for many hours of imaginative play the same pond for cartching frogs and the same roads and trails for days upon days of bike riding and pushing strollers full of baby dolls. It is true that history repeats. Now I find myself enjoying my grand children nearly every day watching them grow so fast it kinda makes me sad. It always amazes me how much of their parents I can see in them. It's truely heart warming- my kids have grown into responsible loving adults with great kids. Ill take this as a win and and continue to feel blessed to have a past a present and a future to look forward to. My heart is full
