simple action saturday : say this every morning before you start your day

May 15, 2010 in Uncategorized

I told Tess the other morning as she left for school with her pigtails flying behind her, “You’re beautiful!” She shouted back at me, “I KNOW!” “You’re a fantastic artist,” I tell her. “I KNOW!” she responds. We should all start our day like Tess and like this little girl: “I CAN DO ANYTHING GREAT! I LOVE MY HOUSE AND EVERYONE IN IT! I LOVE MY HAIR AND MY HIPS AND MY FEARS AND MY MESSY HOUSE AND MY SEEMING INABILITY TO GROW ZINNIAS!” This simple action Saturday is so simple, and not: love yourself. love your life.

Hell yeah! I can do anything good!!!!We are having company tonight that has never been here. I told Steve you cannot let them upstairs! It is too messy. Maybe I’ll let that go :-)

What a brilliant clip. She’s inspired me to trade in my morning crawl to the coffee pot for a more upbeat morning ritual! (No jumping on the bathroom vanity for me, though)
