I took 5 minutes to sit on the beach and drink my coffee the other day. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I did that. These words came to mind:
“We have this one beautiful life, make it a good one.”
It sounds a bit cliche but I was really thankful for the words. You know why? Because it’s actually not blue sky thinking to aim for this each day. For me, it starts with remembering gratitude & seeing the tiny things of beauty and wonder that bring us joy.
When I’m feeling uncertain or fearful, it’s nice to remember that today I have this life, today I’m breathing and today there are things that are really good. Today may be hard but there is goodness in it too. Today may be full on but there is space to choose a kind little thing that will lift or lighten us, even if it’s just for a moment.
Today is a good day to remind ourselves to actively search for the good. To spread goodness to others. To lift ourselves from the overwhelm, the anxiety and the fear by noticing & reveling in something good, something kind, something that brings life.
Today is a good day to turn our face towards the flowers, they are lovely, have you noticed them lately?
