Sorry for the delay, I missed the Word of the Day! Here’s one for your Monday :) (Unintentional but hilarious rhyming…poet? I think so.)
Thanks to the-chosen-pessimist at Deviant Art.
What inspires YOU?
My friend A sent me this article on the future of the “Star Wars Kid”. Read up kids. Warms the heart.
The NeverEnding Story by Michael Ende.
I find that what helps me most when I’m feeling crappy, is finding beautiful, funny or just plain random things online and in my life. Those things make me smile, they help me forget (at least momentarily) what is troubling or pissing me off in the first place.
Actually my friend M - she told me once to answer three things a day:
1) One thing you liked about your day
2) One thing that was okay or bad
3) One thing that made you smile (Her examples were babies and flowers)
I liked the idea so much that I saved it to my computer. But here’s my confession: I haven’t done it yet!
So let’s do it together, shall we?
Here are mine (SO FAR!):
1) I got a positive (encouraging) email back from one of my best friends, based on me reaching out to her in a journal entry (more to come on that!)
2) That I woke up feeling sad based on messages I got from GU yesterday. ”I don’t want a relationship with you”. Still haunts me.
3) My first follower add! Yay new things.
Now you try!
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Thanks to Karishma and Parker Fitzgerald.
