All Things Beautiful
I'm having a rather blah day, no energy, feeling kind of blue, and empty. Instead of concentrating on the negative, I've decided that for today, I will look at things that bring me hope and happiness. All things beautiful.
I was asked once what I would do if I didn't suffer from depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. I can't imagine what it would be like living without fear, but I can envision how amazing life would be.
I would love waking up each morning feeling calm
walk on the beach, and feel the sand between my toes
have more surprise parties, because lets face it, who doesn't like a good party
Appreciate the little things
No matter what, blowing out candles, capturing a wish, finding a penny, I always wish for the same thing, peace, and freedom from fear. For today, I would like to capture those wishes and save them for a better day.
I will take time to relax and do things just for me
Go for a walk and just breathe
Listen to music and feel the words, sing and dance like no one's watching
Today, I will take one day at a time and enjoy the present
I will not worry about tomorrow, but dream of it instead
The places I will go, like my home town of Amsterdam
I will be selfish and take what I need
appreciate the rain
Take the road less traveled
and never look back
Today, I need to just take one day at a time
and today, I have to realize that we each have our struggles, and that I'm never alone
and just for today, I will dream of a better tomorrow
accomplish what I can today, even if it's walking the dogs
Because today I have chosen to take a risk, and see things beautiful
and I hope you know, that no matter how you feel, or think about yourself
because you are beautiful
