~~She woke up on a Monday with the week stretching long ahead of her and she decided, "I'm going to live the heck out of this week." She was woman enough to make that choice.~~ Queenisms
Why do anything else?! Now I guess some of us wake up dreading the day. Maybe work isn't going well. Maybe a relationship is on its last leg. Maybe you just quit smoking and you are afraid of the "nicodemon". Maybe....maybe.....maybe.....
This is my third career move in a year. I am estranged from some family. My car is causing me problems. My son is turning 13 next month. I cut the grass today in 95 degree heat.
But oh, my gosh is my life amazing!!! My house reflects my personality. My friends truly enjoy my company. I love helping people even if it's just paying for the car behind me in a drive thru. I feel blessed, very grateful, and can't wait to see around the corner!! You never know just how wonderful the day can get 🙂
Not just for me. For you as well. You don't have to wait in fear for the nicodemon. You don't have to dwell on your pain in the butt boss or wait for the pangs of loneliness you know will hit sometime soon. Instead, live the heck out of your day!!
Do a random act of kindness. Dance down aisle 11 in WalMart. Sing. Blow bubbles. Be a friend. Watch the birds. Plant some flowers. Be thankful. Count your blessings. Paint a picture...who cares if it's "good"?! Go shopping with that last $5. Have a Coke float and don't worry about the calories. Dye your hair. Wash your windows and appreciate the sparkle. Hug a stranger. Climb a tree. Play hopscotch. Eat a peach and let the juice dribble down your chin. Enjoy the freedom of not needing a cigarette. Celebrate every hour you don't smoke. Ask your kids to smell you and say how lovely you smell. Stand on your head. Buy flowers for someone in a nursing home and take them personally. De clutter your house....or at least that 'junk' drawer in the kitchen. Meet someone new. Say hi. Tell someone you like their outfit.
Of course I could go on. I live the heck out of life myself 🙂 And I go to bed happy. Wake up with anticipation. And never, ever forget to celebrate my lovely 774 day quit. Because it freed me. It truly did. And I hope that through those times of struggle or through those times of breaking the smoking cycle, you remember that you have the ability to live the heck out of your life! So live through the tough times by continuing to enjoy all the fun, positive, good in your life as well. You were born to sparkle 🙂 Sheri
