Day after day

In this time that we live in, it can be hard to take the time for ourselves with our busy schedules and hectic lives, we think about all the stuff we don’t have and that can making us blind to the amazing people and things we do have. We all need to try and love ourself, because when we love ourselves it is easy to love others and see all the good things we have. We need to treat ourselves kindly, gently and with the respect and dignity that we deserve then we can trust and believe in who we are and have the courage and faith to go for what we want! Live each day as if it is your last... I love that saying, but it is so hard to do that because everyday life gives us all its own unique challenges....I am awoken by Navi (our cat) every morning..and I mean EVERY MORNING...sometime as early as 5am..with his kitty kisses and wet cold nose...I try to hide from him under the covers, but he will dig and dig till he too is under the covers and then he try’s so hard to get me to get up. Sometimes....when he comes under the covers, he will curl up beside me and I will lay my hand on his soft warm fur and think how lucky I am and we will both go back to sleep, but that doesn’t happen very and I am left dealing with getting up very early in the morning! I try to realize that  this is not such a bad thing…a good thing really...even though I want to go back to sleep….when you get up early, there is so much to see..the sunrise, the birds waking up, calling to each other and the neighborhood stirring, but again, this is a challenge I must deal with every morning, so I am trying to make the best of it.....We need to take every moment, make the best of it, reflect on our lives and think about all the good things we have and be greatful for them, life is so unpredictable so its important to live in the moment. I have found when someone asks me how I am and I say “I am Excellent,” most people tend to smile and nod, I think if you say it enough it will be true and we all can be excellent!
