Be Kind

On being kind to ourselves . . . 

“Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners.”

To remind us to celebrate successes, lessen tendencies to ruminate on what didn't go the way we wanted, and to cultivate hopefulness, ask these questions each day:

• What went well?
• What didn’t go so well?
• What do I want to do?

Be Brave

One More For Today . . .

From Glennon Doyle Melton, who has inspired me to be a warrior, not a worrier:

"You can do hard things," I said through my tears. "Be brave. Be kind. You are more than this. You can do hard things." 

Light

Some days seem to flow with grace and ease.
My heart feels light.
My head is clear.

Some days, feel as if speed bumps are everywhere, randomly, impeding the flow of things.
And then there is the heartache and heartbreak that wants to fill every single tiny space in my heart.

I am thankful for sleep that rejuvenates my brain.
Another sunrise that restores my hope.
And light that floods the darkness when I need it most.

Tuesday.

Today is another day.

Brain is thinking.

Today is Sunday.
Today my brain is thinking.
Thinking thoughts about finite life, and infinite love.
Thinking about ways to be better than I was yesterday -- mentally, physically, spiritually.

Then I start thinking about making an experience happen today.  About going to the grocery store to buy some delicious goodness.  Thinking that my favorite show is on tonight.

Always thinking that I need/want to be still

Sunday.
