This past week has been a struggle.

I’ve been working long hours and overnight shifts, leading to an unhealthy lack of sleep. Additionally, a few things have come up in my personal life to add extra stress to the situation.

Today looked like that was all going to turn around. I was set to have a night of relaxation and early sleep. Then, more last-minute bad news: I would have to work into the early morning again.

It wasn’t good. I was burning out and I was beyond my stress limit. Then while playing with my daughter, she decided to drop some life advice on me. She said:

Daddy, sometimes you just have to eat bubble gum

This little girl doesn’t know how much she saves me on a daily basis ❤️
