It's June 1st which means my birthday is in exactly 2 weeks! If you're thinking of getting me a present I'm thinking about starting a "Bre Wants a Mac Book Pro Fund" and I'd be more than thrilled to make a contribution in your name. Just a thought, no pressure. Or in celebration of me turning the BIG one nine you could simply have an excellent day with the ones you love... cheesy I know buttttttt that's what I will be doing.
But really, let's get to the real point of this post.
The point is that when you are happy, truly happy, you will find simple pleasures in things that used to be a nuisance. I'm not talking about the days where someone asks you "How was your day?" and you tell them "Oh, it was good." I'm speaking on behalf of the days where someone asks you about your day and you respond with "Awesome!" and then you elaborate on how great your day was for roughly two minutes until you decide that they probably can't even imagine the magnitude of your day. They will ask so "Why was it so good? Did anything significant happen?" And you'll feel a bit strange because nothing "significant" did happen but you still feel like you're a goddess.
Guess what? Something significant DID happen! you had another day of being healthy and truly content with the entire world around you. You have accomplished something today that used to be really tough for you. You might be experiencing these wonderful days quite often. You might be thinking that this serenity in the world is your new normal! You might be right! I certainly hope you are! But what I'm truly getting at is that I want you to appreciate these outstanding days for what they are. I want you to be so overjoyed by the fluttering feeling in your soul that you couldn't imagine a day of disappointing yourself.
Sing in the shower. Scream of joy when you see an old friend. Hug your mom. Swing a kid around in circles and watch her face sparkle in the sun. Take your pup for a walk and tell him how beautiful he is even if he is pretty damn ugly. In your eyes he is a cuddle bug. Tell your grandpa how much he means to you. Take a breather and embrace all the good around you. Do something nice for others. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Greet some strangers. Complement that busy person on the street so they know that they are noticed. Rake the lawn and feel your body move with each stroke. Compliment someone. Be bold. Be honest with yourself and others. Smile because you're beautiful and you know it. Do all the little things that make a difference in your life and others. Be proud of the day you've accomplished. Aim for another. Shoot for a lifetime of serenity.
Bre: Many days like this to come. <3 ED: floundering for a thought in my head.
