This post made me a little sad because there are definitely rough periods where we are "making it through" the day, and that's so sad! I want to enjoy life and time with them, but I also know thinking every moment will be magical is unrealistic. I love the idea of making a seasonal bucket list! I do this for winter and spring break so we have a list of things to try, but I love the idea of it ever-evolving.
I know -- there is definitely space to acknowledge that some days are hard. I don't want anyone to gaslight themselves into thinking every moment has to be magical. But, I agree, the opposite end of that spectrum - spending hours every single day simply limping along to the end - was crushing for me to think about!
