Today’s the day

by Ellie on October 8, 2009

Today I will appreciate the morning instead of cursing it’s arrival.

Today I will not fret over mess but enjoy making it.

Today I will not wallow in my ‘troubles’ and remember friends whose need for support far outstrip my own.

Today I will love because I can and not because I need it reciprocating.

Today I will be slow to anger and let the small things go.

Today I will revel in what I have and not mourn for things I don’t.

Today’s the day.

Well said, how often we forget just how lucky we are and take things for granted.

I try to start most days like this … especially if the day before has been a total mofo disaster!

TMH – Self indulgent? Don't be daft. It was you who made me realise that my Wordless Wednesday post yesterday was self indulgent. xxx

I started my day off like that yesterday, then I tripped down the stairs and said screw it. :)

Great speech, well made, must try harder to think along these lines more days than not. Did it go well? Cx

It's going fine so far. I'm often told I'm over emotional and highly strung and need to stop that.

Somedays I get tired of the sound of my own voice saying 'no', 'stop', 'don't', 'give up'. Today has been decidedly less fraught.

Almost 3 year olds think they are invincible.
