September 15--"It's TOO Hard!"

Everything is hard before it is easy.  --Goethe

    You can start right with the process of being born, leaving the dark comfort of the womb and emerging into a world of bright lights and giants. Then you have to go through the whole process of learning to be a human on Earth. That's the big picture. 
    My son told me yesterday about his two-day old newborn opening his eyes to their dog's inquisitive muzzle right in Remy's face. My son and I both pondered how wild that must be for a new human!
    Then there is the typical day... it's hard to get out of bed (stiffness? pain? don't want to go to work?). There's the chaos of everyone getting where they need to be (school? office? appointments?). There may be co-workers or co-volunteers that are not your favorite folks (cranky? bossy? lazy?). Any time we have to or get to learn something new, it seems hard at first. And humans are excellent at procrastinating.
    Let us bless our stubborn perseverance!
