SOMEONE IS TURNING 1 YEAR OLD TOMORROW!
Roo has reminded me so much of the finiteness of this life - I’ve been learning to appreciate so much of each day, because, let’s say, he’s got (only) another 10-13 years to experience.
My appreciation for this life has grown as a result of being his momma. Seeing him grow both developmentally and physically over the past 10 months of having him (got him when he was precisely 8 weeks old!) has taught me so much in terms of holding gratitude for each day, because: each day is new and different, and tomorrow will be different, as well.
All of the experiences are incredible.
The preciousness this life holds is incredible. ♥️
Wherever you go, there you are.
We can change locations, outfits, body composition, relationships, etc, yet still encounter the same old thoughts, feelings and results.
You are the common denominator.
That being said, you can be the variable.
Perhaps a change of beliefs and thoughts is in order if you're not happy, before a change of scenery, style, dress size, or relationship status.
How many of us have been through a challenging time in our lives that gave us the message that we need to control all of the things in order to be safe and/or successful?
How’s this working for you?
For me, I’ve recognized there are areas of my life I cannot control (and wisdom tells me I should not necessarily want to control because what’s the fun in controlling another individual, really.....) Where do we truly need to exercise our own self-will and where is it unhelpful?
I push for athletic goals personally because I can control those, to a good extent. But I shall not push for a relationship how because it adds the element of another person, and I can’t control what they do or do not do, or how they respond or do not respond to my actions .. How about you?
