#ChatTuesday #TuesdayThoughts: Challenging Day Two.
It’s a cloudy, gray day today, looks like rain, at least for now. We’re not supposed to get any but I guess you never know.
Thank you so much, Modern Mulan, for the coffee, and while I do get your logic, it definitely counts for me but not as much for you!! Please spoil yourself a little, don’t think I miss how much you support and do for others.
And you too Bev! Thank you. You thought you’d get away without a mention, but you truly deserve kindness for yourself too. Sometimes it seems you’re carrying the whole world. I see that as well.
You’ve got a mission, Ladies!
And so does everyone else!
Yesterday I issued a challenge, to do One Nice Thing for yourself every day this week, Monday through Friday. It doesn’t matter if you missed it yesterday, you can always start today and do two.
And Professor Kyle even came up with a tag for it, #OneNiceThing!
I did mine yesterday, it was material, I ordered a face cream I’d been eyeing, it’s a refill, really, but finally gave myself permission. How about you?
How did it go?
You don’t have to be specific if you don’t want, and it doesn’t have to cost a thing. And if you find it difficult, that’s OK too. We are so conditioned out of taking care of ourselves, out of doing nice things for ourselves.
Not this week, my friends.
Not sure what I’ll do today, it will present itself, no doubt.
Hmm, from the time I started this until now, the clouds have cleared and I’m seeing blue sky.
Nice for us, but I wish the thugs terrorizing my beautiful, beautiful city were getting some of the worst weather we have to offer, rather than the best.
I wonder how many of these people have ever driven on ice and snow.
I wonder how many know that feeling where your scarf is soggy with your breath but the rest of your face is frozen.
I’d take an early winter for them to find out.
Anyway, I’m drifting from this week’s theme, which is self-care. It’s awfully easy to do, isn’t it, to end up back in the despair.
But we strengthen ourselves so we can continue our fight. So we can continue to speak out, to act, to keep ourselves in reality and not in the false world they’re building.
Anyway, that’s it for me for today, have a lovely Tuesday and don’t forget to do your #OneNiceThing!
