It is all up to YOU!


Today is a new day and the possibilities are endless.
Will you get up on the right side of the bed?
Will you feed yourself a nutrious breakfast?
Will you do something quiet for yourself before beginning the household duties?
Will you gift yourself with a hot shower?
Will you wear something you don't normally let yourself wear because it might be too nice for being home with the kids or a Thursday at the office?
Will you take your little ones outside for fresh air and good old fashioned play?
Will you allow yourself to sit and enjoy them playing ..instead of worrying about laundry needing to be folded?
 Will you say no to something that doesn't make you happy?
Will you say yes to something that gives pleasure?
Will you be less hard on yourself?
Will you choose to count to ten or walk away before your patience is lost?
Will you do your job or follow through with your responsibilites with a smile on your face?
Will you walk a little faster?
Will you give up the first parking spot so that you can get a little exercise and breathe a little more fresh air?
Will you throw in a few squats while you are waiting for the water to boil?
Will you drink a few glasses of water?
Will you turn up the radio and let a song move you?
Will you find something to laugh at - really laugh at?
Will you do less judging and more putting yourself in their shoes?


Will you tip your head back and look up at the sky and realize the vast possibilities...
because it is all up to you!
Today is your present.
Make it the best one you have opened.
Realize the possibilities and make it worth it.
It is all YOU.
Build it.

It's difficult to remember that even as a busy mother, we have choices throughout the day. Thank you!

Ok, so I actually printed this post out to keep in my wallet to read like a little mantra each day. To remind myself that I have the power to create a positive environment (both inner and outer) for myself. Great post...one of my favorites.
