doing your best

Outside of my apartment window I have a view of the most beautiful sunsets.  There are days when it is takes my breathe away with the sky lighting up with spectacular color.  Each time the sky lights up this way I am reminded of the cross country adventure I took years ago.  Out west the sky was free of power lines and buildings.  You could gaze for miles and miles soaking in all the beauty that this world has to offer.  

They sky memorizes me because no matter where we are in the world we are all under the same sky.  We see the same sun and moon and make wishes on the very same stars.  It is  a gentle reminder that we are all human and each of us are just trying to do our very best. 

Life isn't always easy. There are moments where it is tough just to walk out the door.  We struggle on our path and feel like we can't catch a break.  It is difficult and heart wrenching.  During these times we need to be tender with ourselves and remember that we are during our very best.  

We are all human, looking up at the same sky.  We are not perfect.  We face challenges and have our own inner struggles.  Do not be quick to judge someone because you never know what it is they are going through.  Just show up in your own corner of the world and do your best.
