I'm not 17 anymore, and I know myself pretty darn well (one of the advantages of being 40+!) I know that I can have the tendency to feel sorry for myself. But today I'm realizing how lucky I am, and am trying to embrace and be thankful for my blessings. Things can always be worse - I'm healthy, I have a stable and happy home, two wonderful offspring, two wonderful kittehs, and a fantastic, supportive partner. I have the opportunity to reinvent my career, and really take control of it.
And I have great friends - friends who reach out to me (because I SUCK at staying in touch), friends who, in the midst of their own issues, send me info, referrals, and love. I'm thinking of my friends today, hoping they are well, and happy, and as blessed as I am. I'm thinking of my friends who are going through challenges, particularly today, and want them to know that I KNOW they will overcome those challenges, they will conquer the mountain. There may be some unpleasant medicine, but know that the love and support of your friends and family with be the spoonful of sugar that helps it go down.
Today is a day for thinking positively, for taking action and for seizing the day!
Carpe diem!
