I have more than one journal program. I write a lot! One of them puts out daily suggestions. -Give three words to describe your mood. What fun did you have today? What do you crave and why? Write a love letter.- The love letter one had me swearing at first. Stupid program. But someone suggested that I write a love letter to myself, so I thought…. why not! I’ll give it a go.
Dearest Jena,
When you smile, people smile back. Always smile. Your heart is good. You have much to give. You are so very hard on yourself when you should sit back and let your radiant energy shine. You are creative and thoughtful and kind.
Your love for your children is clear. While you know you have to study, and do, you also know when to put it aside and watch an episode of “Transformers Prime” with Finn. Your eyes are widening to the ever growing need that Rian has for you and you guys are having some really good fun lately! Keep enjoying Jack’s cuddles, he loves them more than you know.
Your passion for hummus is inspiring. Your devotion to the concoction is clear. There are other foods out there, but I understand your need for the chickpea like no one else can.
You dance like no one is watching. That is so good for you. You smile, you move, you breathe, you forget about everything else. Always dance.
You are growing every day. Your sun is beaming ever brighter. Your sadness is ok as long as you remember you are loved as much as you love others. You have some kick ass people in your life. Thank them. Your comfort in your own skin shows. Keep going. Keep moving. Keep dancing. Keep playing. Keep learning. Keep growing.
:),

ok, maybe this isn’t a love letter. maybe this is a directive to myself. it’ll do.
