Hey Reader,

Some days, I just step back and say, "Wow, that's just too hard". Does it really have to be that that complicated?

I don't know what your "it" is but mine can be anything from:

-cancelling an online order

-trying to find how to watch a live football game on YouTube, Netflix, Prime, HGTV - do you feel my confusion

-finding a good book to read over the holidays

Life just shouldn't be so hard. Relationships can seem just as confusing.

Why does my spouse do ______________?

Why doesn't my spouse do _____________?

The more I wonder why, the more confused I get.

Let's stop being confused and just be present for a couple of weeks. These next two can be trying for many. Various family and friends in your space, for longer than you'd hoped. Spending more money that you'd planned on stuff they may not even want. It can be a trying time.

So TRY - and here's a couple of tools that may be helpful.
