So take time to replenish. A few moments a day at the absolute minimum. An afternoon a month, a day every 3 months, a weekend at least twice a year. Refill yourself with all that brings you joy.
You deserve it.
As much as we want to give others our time, attention, energy and help there are times when we have got to step back and replenish our own cup. If we don't we will eventually collapse in a heap and be of no help to anyone, least of all ourselves. So take time to replenish. A few moments a day at the absolute minimum. An afternoon a month, a day every 3 months, a weekend at least twice a year. Refill yourself with all that brings you joy. You deserve it.

Who we are, what we do and how we interact with the world is all tied to our personal perception of reality. So often we fail to get out of the starting gate of life because of our inability, reluctance or refusal to appreciate our perception is just that - our own - and not always the reality of the bigger story happening around us. Letting go of our perceptions may be a hard skill to develop but is vital for our overall well being and our ability to recognise the helping hand of others, even in times when we feel the world has deserted us. What you may have perceived to be disinterest could in fact be someone trying to help you see that all is not lost and that this bad moment is just that, a bad moment which will pass. Reality check your perceptions to live a full life and ensure you are not still stuck in starting block. Today is Celebrate the Small Things Friday. Hosted by Lexa Cain, L.G. Keltner of Writing Off the Edge, and Tonja Drecker of Kidbits, Celebrate the Small Things is a time when we all take a moment to celebrate something good from our week. It can be small, it can be big, just something to look back on the week and celebrate! Been a while but going to be short and sweet :
I hope you all have had good weeks and have both big and small things to celebrate. Just remember to give credit to the small things - that is what you will look back on one day and realise was the big things!!! To be part of this blog hop, all you have to do is put your name on the linky list on Lexa’s Blog, and then post every Friday about something you’re grateful for that week. It can be about writing or family or school or general life. This is the funnest and easiest blog hop ever! (Originated by VikLit)
I posted this in 2012 on my FB feed - I'm sure most of your have come across the 'You have memories' function. It resonates tonight. I've been dealt some lousy cards over the years and they still persist in coming. However I've learnt to play a better hand. What used to drive me close to the brink no longer does. Not because it isn't still hurtful or harmful, but because I've learnt to stop and think before reacting. I've chosen to temper my reactions so that my life follows the path I dictate, not the path dictated to me. I can't change what has happened or what will happen, and choosing to live without regret and in the present means I don't want to change any of it - what I can do each day is make sure that my choices are centred in my present regardless of the cards in my hand. Rule the game, don't let the game rule you. |
Love Always
You reach a point of accepting that you made mistakes,
they cost you dearly and that you can't change the past. At that point you stop raging against your history, accept it, and move forward into a calmer, less self destructive frame of mind. Archives
