If you read fabulous SummerB, then you read her post yesterday on "a note on your nightstand" Summer posed the question of:
"If you left a note on your night stand, saying one thing... What would it say?"
I thought long and hard about this question... Of course, I could remind myself to do a million things I need to get done. ie: remind myself to not forget my water bottle, not forget to take the steaks out of the freezer, clean the fish tank, go shopping, etc.
But that's not the point of this... the point is, we all need a reminder daily of something we always forget, so I came to the conclusion that my note would say:
----------------> Appreciate it.
Why? Because all to often, I look at my past and the things I have gone through, the mistakes I have made, the lack of a well rounded childhood and I think to myself: "why me? why does this all happen to me, what did I do to deserve this?" and the truth is, I didn't deserve ANY of it... it just happens, that is what was put in my road as a bump and I need to learn to ride right over it... but more than that, I need to learn to accept it. I cannot change what happened... I cannot bring my Father back, I cannot stop my sisters from doing the things they've done, I cannot take back the things I said that hurt people... but I can appreciate that I wake up each morning healthy, clothed, fed, with family, friends and a boyfriend, that they love me and accept me for who I am regardless. I can appreciate it. all of it. The good and the bad.
What would your note say?
P.s. I see Paramore today!! SOOOO excited
