Sometimes, the days are simply hard.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again; It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to have difficult days, to want to cry, to simply be “over it”. It doesn’t matter where you are in this journey of military life.
I have been there, and like I have said before, military spouses (and really ALL MILSOs) truly are a breed of their own. We get up every day and move forward; through deployments, moving every couple of years or starting all over again. Some days we survive by downing caffeine and end with something even stronger. Other days we feel like we are on top of the world.
Save to Pinterest!
If you have’t seen it already, I have given you 31 Days of Inspiration for Military Spouses to help you get through those rough days (and they make an excellent deployment countdown too!), but I wanted to give you even MORE! So here are 31 MORE days of Inspiration for you military spouses. Because the days will be hard, but YOU are stronger than them.
