Today was a Difficult Day

I read this recently and thought I’d share as today was a difficult day and I know I’m not the only one who could use this encouraging reminder…

“Today was a Difficult Day,” said Pooh.

There was a pause.

“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Piglet.

“No,” said Pooh after a bit.
“No, I don’t think I do.”

“That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

“What are you doing?” asked Pooh.

“Nothing, really,” said Piglet. “Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite
often don’t feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

“But goodness,” continued Piglet, “Difficult Days are so much easier when you
know you’ve got someone there for you. And I’ll always be here for you, Pooh.”

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the
solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought
that his best friend had never been more right.”

- A.A. Milne

My heart and prayers are with those who are having a difficult day today. I hope you have your own Piglet(s) beside you. And thanks to the Piglets in my life for sitting beside me near or far on my difficult days too.

With love and hope,
Shawn
