Thought for the Day . . .

Although I don't really post "inspirational" messages/quotes on my blog, this one came at a good time for me. While my life is not especially stressed right now, my plate is still full and I've felt at times like I was a "chicken with my head cut-off" running around trying to keep everyone happy and then wondering why I don't have any energy at the end of the day to get everything done. It made me pause and rethink stuff. Things are going okay for me (no pity parties being thrown anyway), I think I'm just caught up in the "envy" cycle and I just need to stop and breath for a bit. I've been so caught up on posting negative things on my blog lately that I think I've scared away all of my 2.87 readers. So here's something postive. I hope it reassures you as much as it has reassured me.

Woman to Woman Encouragement

Someone will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their partners will fix more things around the house. So let it go and love you and your circumstances.

Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. The richest woman you know - she's got the car, the house, the clothes - might be heartbreakingly lonely.

So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself, "I am too blessed to be stressed." Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."
