Someone recently said to me "you are brave".
It took my breath away.
Me, brave?
I didn't think so.
Women I consider brave are those that care for an ailing spouse
or child and still have a smile on their face.
Or those that struggle to put food on the table for their family.
Or that suffer through debilitating illnesses.
Now those women are brave.
Me, I am just a woman trying to live life passionately
and have a smile on my face each day.
How do we live passionately with a smile on our face?
1. Frame of mind. Surround yourself with what makes your heart sing.
Stop at a flower shop or even among the flowers at the market,
just take in the beauty for a few moments.
Light a candle, sip a bracing cup of something warm.
2. Journaling. How do you journal or do you journal.
The journal could be just making a collage from pictures from a magazine
if writing isn't what comforts you.
3. Play. Dress up, go for a walk, dance in a tutu. Find opportunities to laugh.
4. Pray. Silence is sometimes a prayer. How do we pray?
How do we tie our dreams together and bundle them with a prayer,
then move forward?
Some thoughts that I wrote down sometime ago and came across this week.
A good reminder to myself and I hope maybe something will
be of help for you.
Happy Weekend, dear friends!
