But then I rebel against these thoughts. I tell myself there's only one of me, just like there's only one of you. We are both to celebrate and be celebrated.
I tell myself that if I feel invisible, maybe I ought to question those feelings rather than my ability to be seen. I tell myself that it's not an either/or world and that I am both loved and one who loves. Throughout my life. Since birth. Right now. Today and tomorrow. Just like the sun comes up. It's there. You just gotta see it.
And sometimes this kind of thinking leads me to write stuff like this: You can improve. You can move forward. You are improving. You are moving forward. You can seek and find. You can be sought and found. Who you are, what you do, what you say, who you love--it all matters. Don't worry about keeping score. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the journey.

Thank you, I think too often I lose sight of the moment, and let everything else build up so that living in the moment isn't possible due to everything else that needs to happen. This is what I needed to read today!
ReplyDeleteLove the salute to Dr. Seuss. What I needed today was to read that this was helpful to someone. It's encouraged me to try to really live what I wrote and to keep writing. So thanks back at you.
