Dear Reader,
I'm feeling particularly fine today. I stopped for a minute, took a personal inventory and I realized I've achieved some major accomplishments lately–projects that I'd been working on for over a year. Not bragging--I just decided today that I don't ever take the time to stop and celebrate my personal achievements, and I should--because once the moment is gone, it's gone.
Instead of celebrating when I accomplish a personal goal, I toss it aside as ‘no big deal’ and immediately I start making plans to move on to the next project. But it is a big deal! And today's the day I'm going to pat myself on the back. I always take the time to chastise myself when I screw up, but why is it so difficult to be my own cheerleader when I succeed? Maybe it's those self-defeating thoughts that try to creep in and ruin the party: "Better not feel too good Suzanne or something bad will happen to put you in your place." I don't even know where I picked up that dialogue, but I'm not buying it anymore.
"You did good today, Suzanne. I'm proud of you. Today's your day to celebrate!"
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
