For your consideration…
Most of us at various times in our lives, if not most times, are very busy. We have “to-do” lists galore with things we must get done, things we must get done. Much of it is to keep our home, family, friends, job, community, etc. safe and comfortable. That is life.
What many of us don’t have a “to-do” list for is things we want to do for ourselves. We don’t usually have lists of things we want to try. We don’t schedule down-time to just chill. We don’t take prioritize our time to do something that we just want to do for fun or enjoyment…no reason or excuse necessary.
Our message today tells us it is OK…necessary…to prioritize ourselves in front of all the things that we “must do” on our to-do lists. It is ok to take time off for no reason at all…just to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit,piece by piece. HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…”I am loved.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of the light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Prioritize you.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-A beautiful and fun 50th anniversary party for Frank and Janet.
-Catching up with Jody.
-I was able to stop at Alex and James’ on my way home. I had cookies from the party and thought I would drop them off for Conner. He was so excited and waiting for me and them. His parents let him have 1 cookie plus another very small one. As I was telling him good night and good bye he says, “Mimi, are you taking the rest of the cookies?” “No, Conner, those are for you.”
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
