Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm living the dream. That this life didn't just happen to me, but that I chose it. This is important to remember because sometimes I feel like this life requires more than I have to give - or at least more than I have to give with a good attitude. But that isn't true. I can be kind, even when I am feeling tired or hungry or overwhelmed. I can be cheerful when I really just want to be alone. I can look above the mundane and see the divine. But it takes effort, and sometimes I don't feel up to the challenge. The good news is that tomorrow is always a new day, and I can try again.

Surprising how 'how not easy,' it is to do what you speak of! But it is so wonderful to try, and to keep re-committing! You are a daily dose of wisdom:)
ReplyDeleteA good walk in nature (or just around the block) reminds me of all of this when I need to be reminded. (Of course when it is 0 degrees out in the winter, or unbearably hot like it probably is for you, I have to find another alternative. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteI needed to read this tonight. The chaos of summer is getting to me. And I am ready for fall. But I need to remember that though I am weary, I still can be kind. Thank you.
