Many Good Mornings to You and The New Year!
Most mornings you dash over to the
sink and grab your toothbrush. You take care of your morning rituals and drive
the kids to school or drive yourself to Starbucks. Everything’s a haze.
Now
rewind or reset back to the bed.
Watch that moment as if it were in
slow motion. Replay the part where you swing your legs to the edge, when your
feet touched the floor. Don’t dwell on the chipped polish, hairs or the scars.
Just stop in your head for a Nano-second and think about the coming day.
The
possibilities, the potential to change-- everything begins with that first step
in the right direction. Before your feet touch your slippers, carpet or cold
floor, that’s when it begins.
You have the power.
Thanks for making me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kelly.
DeleteIndeed! I've made some very powerful changes today. I would never have gone out of my way 3 years ago and take the risks to do a job, one that wasn't even mine to do. It just happened that I knew what I was doing. :)
ReplyDeleteDang, it sure did feel good, too!
Congratulations Diane on doing something different that felt good! Wow. Perfect.
DeleteIf only I had the brain power at five in the morning!
ReplyDeleteEarly isn't my favorite either, but a change in routine can make a difference.
DeleteWell said, Eve!
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do without the positive comments you have given me since I started blogging? Thanks so much and hope your New Year is filled with everything you search for and even more!
DeleteEve, you are the philosopher of WMD! Seriously, this is very thought-provoking.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you again for the photo you posted on my Facebook page. It made me realize that I really need another bird in my life.
Thanks for the compliment Norma. Aw, the little bird getting hugged by the cat? So cute huh?
DeleteMust keep saying this to myself, Eve. Hugs..
ReplyDeleteYes, we all do Carole. Thanks for coming across the pond!
DeleteYep. Stop for just a nano second...what a difference a nano second can make! Happy New Year, Eve!
ReplyDeleteIt makes a difference in everything!
DeleteGreat, positive message. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lena. I love seeing your positive messages too!
DeleteMay the Positive Force Be With You!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. I appreciate that!
DeleteGood post and so true. We do have the power. I like to start my day for thanking God for the day. I take a very slow morning before I get going, and I'm grateful I can take that slow start.
ReplyDeleteSlow is good. I guess I'm talking about reflection. I think this is the year of reflection.
DeleteI should have read this before I got out of bed! Now I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to take your advice! Happy New Year Eve, I hope it brings you everything your heart desires.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Barb!
DeleteWonderful post—definitely good food for thought!
ReplyDeleteI need to think like this every morning!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and uplifting post. The huge font just makes it sink in better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! Thanks for reminding us to stop and smell the roses and pay attention to all the little, but wonderful moments before us.
