Don't Beat Ourselves Up

March 2013

I was thinking about struggles last night. And many things came to mind.

~ having an off day (or week, or month) does not make me a failure. It just makes me human
~ I am loved, strong, capable and significant JUST THE WAY I AM
~ I have nothing to prove to anyone in regards to what number shows up on the scale each morning. It does not dictate my day.
~ my body needs nutritious food, sunshine and exercise in order to do the things that are demanded of it, not in order to wear a particular size any time soon.
~ things are what they are. Period. Today stands on its own, not as a reflection of what I did or didn't do yesterday, but as a jewel representing the infinite of today.


And, now, I will go take my shower, take the dog for a walk in the sunshine or rain - whichever the sky is doing at that moment, treat my father with love, humor and respect, eat the meals I have planned for today and exercise my body.  Some days, we need a reminder that we are not traveling this path in a vacuum!
