Overwhelmed


I try to take one day at a time, 
but sometimes several days attack me at once.  
~Jennifer Yane


Overwhelmed
You've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately.  It seems like there is a never ending pile of things to do.  As each day passes, you're feeling more stressed, more anxious and definitely more tired!  You are about to get to the end of your rope.  Well not so fast.  Life is like a roller coaster and sometimes we feel like we are free falling but it's your perspective during this time that will make or break you.  You may not be able to change the amount of things you need to accomplish but you can carve out some time in the day to recenter yourself, refocus or even take a few minutes to read the comics for a quick laugh.  It is far to easy to let yourself get wrapped up in the work of life but guess what, it will all get done in due time.  Let yourself off the hook for a little while.  You are a human being, not a machine, and can only do so much in one day.  For today, start to see things from the wider angle and know that you are fantastic for being who you are, not for what you accomplish in a day!

Care



If you step on people in this life, 
you're going to come back as a cockroach.  
~Willie Davis


Care
We show the best side of ourselves when we care for others.  Spouses, loved ones, friends, children and even pets need our love and attention from time to time.  It's a privilege to be able to come alongside someone in their time of need and provide them with a sense of security when they feel at their most vulnerable.  Caring for someone is a true expression of love.  We just have to remember to also take care of ourselves as well. It's easy to put aside our own health and wellness when caring for someone else and we can't fully help if we are struggling too.

Just Dance



Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"  
~Robin Williams


Just Dance
C'mon, let yourself have some fun already!  Life is way too serious not to take some time to play, have fun and just dance.  Set your burdens aside (maybe even for good) and realize that you have a choice in every moment, in every day to either be joyful and appreciative or angry and fearful.  It's a no brainer, right?   It's time to be free, have fun and let your inner child shine right on through.
