Value not the things you have in life, but rather who you
have in life.
Well we had a very, great day yesterday! After it starting off in a way we’d both have
rather not experienced, we put that out of our minds and went and sat in the
shade outside. Then enjoyed about 3
hours of singing along to old songs on youtube whilst chilling. The beauty of doing that is you have to stay
on the youtube screen (unless you pay money) so I couldn’t be faffing on my
phone at the same time or the song would stop.
At first when I realised I was all ‘oh ma’an’ then I appreciated the
break from technology was probably just what I needed. It was my day off, I shouldn’t be checking in
with my members messages on Facebook. My
next move in my game of scrabble could wait, I’d been stuck on the same level
of Candy Crush for days so who cared and those messages beeping through could
wait a few hours!
We loved it and only came in when it started to rain, then
we changed our attention to Netflix and America’s got talent which kept us
going until The Voice (kids) started, oh and we did a celebrity Tipping Point in-between.
Yeah I was reminded of my mom’s vulnerability yesterday and
it made me forget all her cantankerous behaviour of late and focus on the
now.
We need to focus more on the NOW, because no matter how much
we stress or obsess about the past or the future, we can’t change either
one! It’s in the present where our power
lies. From a Weight Watchers point of
view, we’re can be guilty of regretting what we’ve eaten, the choices we’ve
paid, then we’ll focus on how we can pull that back tomorrow instead of just
saying okay, what can I do right now.
It’s okay to make mistakes, to have bad days, to be less
than perfect, to do what’s best for you and to just be yourself. We don’t have to be everything to everybody
all the time.
Alfie was a little darling yesterday, it was as if he knew I
could do with a second walk and some fresh air, he took me on the longest walk
he’s done in weeks, he then stopped and rolled around in a pile of dusty dirt
like sand he found and actually changed his colour to a grey brown but it made
me smile and again remember why I love him, because he’s not always a pain in
the backside.
Anyway today’s another day, got my meeting this morning so I
better go get myself ready for that, hoping moms better this morning and we
have another very, great day.
Enjoy your day BeYOUtiful, healthy and happy and in the NOW!
