Dear Self,
What’z up?
I realize it’s easier to look down, but life would be less heavy if you looked up.
I get it! There’s plenty of things in life to get down about:
- Financial stress
- Broken relationships
- Job insecurity
- Coronavirus
- Political chaos
... and the list goes on and on.
But Self, you’ve forgotten to look up and see the good in the world!
In fact, I challenge you to not just see the good, but to let it overshadow the bad.
Look closely! Good is all around you:
- The colorful array of pinks and oranges splashing across a perfect sunset.
- The contagious smile of a giggling child.
- The savoring flavor of java chip ice cream (last I knew, that was your favorite flavor!)
- The kindness and generosity of others.
- The gift of family and friends.
- The feeling of beach sand between your toes.
There’s so much to be thankful for… even if it’s just the food on your table today.
Self, look up! Are you ready to turn your day downside up by saying, “What’z up?” instead of “What’z down?”
