That wasn't as hard as I thought it would be ...

How often do we say that phrase?

More often that we should ... but then again, maybe some don't say it enough. 

For me ... I have learned to tackle every day, not seeing what lies ahead of me as insurmountable, simply just another mound to be crossed.  It's nice like that.  Things are only as hard as I allow them to be.

This morning, I gave out an assignment that drew groans and wailing, almost gnashing of teeth, from my classroom full of adult learners.  By the end of the class period, I heard that phrase.  "That wasn't as hard as I thought it would be."  

Have some faith in yourself.  :)

One thing at a time.  One day at a time.  One smile at a time.  It's all good.
