Twenty-Four Weeks. Three Days. Day 173 in the quest to meet our little miracle George
This morning as i walked on the treadmill at the gym, i turned on the TV and there on The Early Show was some inspiration…
How many times in the past have i been down in the dumps, thinking of all the bad things in life, wondering how this world could be so cruel, wondering what was the point… And as i watch the show i was reminded of some great advise that was once given to me, when you are feeling hard done by, when all seems lost, each day write down five good things that have happened, five awesome things that you love, and five things that made you smile…
Today The Early Show reminded me that while life can be overwhelming, while we can get so caught up in what we believe is important, we often forget that sometimes it really is about lifes little pleasures, about those five awesome things of each day.
So today i give you , my ten most awesome, the things that could cheer me up on the dullest of days…
- My puppy’s uncontrollable excitement as i open the front door
- Laying on the cold tiles on a hot summers day
- A warm glass of milk before bed
- Snuggling my favorite childhood stuffed toy
- Taking the pins out of my hair at the end of the day
- Reheated homemade lasagna
- Finding just enough money in the bottom of your bag for a skinny latte
- Nutella out of the jar
- A perfect sunrise, and my most awesome right now
- Feeling my baby kick me, so that i know everything is ok
It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth — and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up — that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
