Promise Yourself
A while ago we did an American Idol Shout-out on here with people posting comments LIVE during the show about their favorite contestants and what they thought about who. It was fun. You can read that here.
I literally posted the Grammy announcement the very minute the show was starting and hadn't even mentioned it to anyone I know in person – so, it was a party for one. But man did they put on a performance. I haven't watched an awards show in quite a while. This one I thought was worth it.
I'm having my post-winter blahs. And I like winter! Doesn't make much sense but it always happens around this time of year. It's not as bad as last year though, and I'm grateful for that. Speaking of being grateful, that's something I need to be more mindful of. I need to remind myself of all the little things I'm grateful for and put that out there in the Universe. It's so easy to get caught up in the complaining and obsessing over “what's not perfect yet”.
It's not about “perfection” really, it's just the mindset. I learned that instead of thinking in terms of “what's wrong” to think about situations that “aren't perfect yet.” To me, it has a whole different feeling behind it.
So, me and my fussy self will leave you with something that one of my best friends gave me several years ago that means a lot to me. I don't know who the author is but I hope there's something in it of value to you.

PROMISE YOURSELF to be so
strong that nothing can disturb your peace
of mind. To talk health, happiness and
prosperity to every person you meet. To
make all your friends feel that there is
something in them. To look at the sunny
side of everything and make your optimism
come true. To think only of the
best, to work only for the best and expect
only the best. To be just as enthusiastic
about the success of others are you are
about your own. To forget the mistakes of
the past and press on to the greater
achievements of the future. To wear a
cheerful countenance of all times and give
every living creature you meet a smile. To
give so much time to the improvement of
yourself that you have no time to criticize
others. To be too large for worry, too noble
for anger, too strong for fear and too
happy to permit the presence of trouble.
