Dark Night, Bright Day

For every dark night,

there's a brighter day! 

-Tupac

I'm trying to keep this as my motto,

with health and with work,

as both things can swing a person's mood

from one extreme to another.

Some days, it is a struggle.

Other days, it seems to come easier.

Wonderful

"Today,

and every day,

take as your

personal mantra:

I am what I am,

and what I am

is wonderful."

~Sarah Ban Breathnach





Sometimes I find waking up with a positive thought

- before I let the day's worries creep in -

changes my attitude about things

before my day gets started.

It worked today, it was a much better

day than the past three have been.

And that's always a good thing!

You would never tell your friend 

she looks fat in a bathing suit, 

or tell your coworker his arms are scrawny, 

so why would you tell yourself that?  

"To wish you were someone else 

is to waste the person you are."

"A beautiful thing is never perfect." 

—Egyptian proverb

i hope you had a good week, 

it felt like a long one for me after

coming back home from a visit

with my folks.  Catching up with

all the things that accumulate when 

you're away has kept me busy -- 

laundry, grocery shopping, errands --

all mundane necessities of life! 

And now that i'm home, we are 

finally getting rain in the Valley of 

the Sun after going without rain

for 70 days.  i woke up to wind

and pattering rain drops -- and just

wanted to stay curled up in bed all day!
