Wow! What a difference a day makes! It's all temporary, isn't it? Yesterday, I hated everything and spent the day angry! This morning I read all the inspiring emails sent to me by those who read my first Daily BLOG, and you know what, I feel great! I know it's all a state of mind, but it's funny, b/c during these tough times, it's when you do start to focus on the intangibles. It reminds me of a very personal story for me: Two years ago, Hurricane Wilma did a great job destroying my neighborhood. My generator broke, and my neighbor, an engineer, came over to fix it. We've been the best of friends ever since. Our whole neighborhood became closer as a whole, but it took a hurricane to do it. It took no power for 23 days for us to become better acquainted. But that's the point; when we're riding high, we don't look for anyone else or we don't take "time out to smell the roses." But we should. We all need somebody, and somebody needs us!
Do me a favor, trust me, you'll thank me later----Tell a loved one today, that you love them. It's okay if you're single. Tell your child, your parents, your dog, I don't care, just say the words, you'll feel better, I promise you (or your money back)! One more thing, do something for yourself today. It doesn't have to a big deal. Could be something small like buy yourself something. Don't want to spend the money? Plenty of great things you can do for yourself that doesn't cost a dime. Take a long walk, sit in the dark with a candle burning as you listen to Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, or Celia Cruz. It doesn't matter, the point is, do something! You deserve it!
