I'M CRUSHING YOUR HEADS!

It's the short-term goals I'm supposed to be focusing on. But those long-termers keep peaking their impatient little heads over the horizon.

I remind myself of the temporariness of it all. Because I know:

At some point:
...I won't have to remind myself to smile when I feel like staring into space.
...I will wake up ready to tackle the day instead of telling myself, "C'mon...you can do it."
...I'll be somewhere where there's no computers and a cell phone signal only in case of emergency (for my kids sake!).
...I won't stress over every penny and the phrase "We don't have the money for that right now. I'm sorry." won't be used nearly as often.
...This knot in my stomach, throat and back will be gone.
...I won't feel the need to cheer for my car everytime it starts.
...I won't second-guess everyones intentions, words, actions.
...I will look in the mirror and think, "You look good today" vs. the every day battle of, "What's happened to you? You look tired."
...I'll have my energy back.
...I'll be back in my size 4 jeans.
...I'll look forward to exercising.
...I'll trust.

Someday..
