Thanks for this. There are times when I am sure that my children are so confused by the different "me"s that they wake up to:
the tired me, the cranky me, the confused me, the forgetful me, the more happy me, the sleepy me, the blank me, the me that is really struggling. But there is the me that is really hopeful and really working hard. That's the one I want them to see. I read in Oprah magazine (I know) about the WMBA player who's mom told her that she didn't have to be the best, just her best. And I think that's the message I want for me and my kids- to be our best. And that's where hope factors in-to do our best.
