one of the girls at work broke down today and started to cry because she had a ton of returns and our big anniversary sale wasn't as big as we expected, so no one made nearly as much money as we should've. there really wasn't much that i could say to make her feel better, so i just hugged her for a minute and told her it would be okay and that tomorrow would be a better day. then i remembered last december, when i was in her position. i wasn't crying over my numbers, but i was hysterically balling in the stock room because i had just found out that my boyfriend was a no-good-lousy cheater. i stood there right by the dump bar on a busy saturday and cried big heavy tears and all the girls crowded around me and hugged me and asked me what happened and comforted me and told me i deserved better. and i did deserve better and i found someone better and i am better off everyday.
in my life and when things get really really hard, in the middle of full-blown crises, which thankfully hasn't happened very much, i sometimes ask myself "what am i going to do?" and cry and complain and lament over how difficult my situation is when my answer is staring me right in the face.
we move on.
because really, there isn't anything else we can do.
we can't stop time and wait to figure things out.
we can't quit on life.
we put one foot in front of the other and put on a pretty face and move forward.
because everyday is a beautiful new day.
