Reminding myself

Stay positive

Stay light

Stay happy or at least content

Stay carefree as possible

Because sure….

Life is stressful

Things don’t always go as planned

But the ride is the journey

And all its detours and surprises

All its ups and downs

Are part of the tapestry that makes it unique to you

So just keep rolling

Keep making the most of it

Keep smiling

Keep trying to live in the moment

Keep trying to see the best in everyone

And the best of everything

Keep doing your thing and being who you are

Sure you’re gonna get some stuff wrong

Sure there are always different sides to everything and everyone

Sure to whatever myriad of concerns you could stress out about, but…

You don’t have to concern yourself with all that

Concern yourself with who you want to be

You want to have:

Peace of mind because you follow your heart

Compassion because you understand we are all fallible, especially yourself

An open mind because you know there are many ways to do and see things

And know at the end of the day you are trying your best and give yourself grace for that.

Amen
