A new day means another chance. Another chance to take the next right step. If I’m being honest, I’ve lived too much of life focusing on the problems at hand, too scared or too full of self-pity to simply do the next right thing. Dreams aren’t realized in a day.

We should be thankful for our mistakes and learn from them. Our mistakes do not define us, they help to shape the person we become as we learn from them.

You are who you are, you may have some regrets and wish you’d made different choices, but all in all you are a pretty awesome individual. All of you people are. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, not even yourself.

I looked at the clock and thought, “11:17!! Already? I haven’t gotten anything done today!”
But when I tried to pick out just what it was I thought I should have done already, my mind was a blank. The idea of what I hadn’t accomplished was just a kind of hazy cloud, an overcast. Ill defined and vaporous, yet substantial enough to cast a shadow across my mind.
All this as I dried my hands from washing dishes. Hmm.
So I asked myself, “what have I done today?” I clicked them off in my head:
washed a load of clothes
cooked 2 pounds of bacon
made 2 pitchers of tea
emptied the dishwasher
took a conference call for work
texted back and forth with my boss
read my emails
cleaned the kitchen
made breakfast
hand washed a bunch of dishes
cleaned the kitty litter…
I guess I did do some things. And yet I had stood there, downcast and self-condemning, in the shadow of a cloud of my own making.
Why do we do that to ourselves? I know it’s not just me.
Why are we so hard on ourselves?
