This is one of the best gifts I've ever received from my husband.
Five small words.
a
you
job
have
hard
Arranged in a specific order, they were more than powerful to me.
These words came to me when the kids were smaller, requiring constant attention. No self-actualization going on. Lots of stress. I had chosen this for myself and truly loved my role, but it was (and sometimes still is) exhausting.
These words didn't try to fix anything, explain anything, organize anything.
They proclaimed to me that my husband realized my struggle, acknowledged my contribution to our family, and in doing so, empowered me.
So when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, I remember the words of a very wise man,
"You have a hard job."
