This Thought Counts

Children are overlooked far too often. They see the world through a unique view, one adults the world over need to re-learn. Anything is possible. Absolutely anything. Ask questions. Laugh and play. Let things go. Cry when you need to, hug a stuffed (or real) animal, and then eat a cookie. Go out and be a child today. Look at everything with awe and wonder. See everything about you with new eyes. I think you’ll be surprised at what you see.

Yep. Today is the day to love yourself. You. You amazing, wonderful person. Hug yourself. Now. What? Somebody is watching? Make a beeline for the bathroom, lock the stall door and hug yourself. Harder. Harder still. Pour every ounce of love you can imagine into yourself. For YOU are important. Very important. Know it. Feel it. Hug it into you. If it feels odd and makes you want to run from the room, hug yourself harder! Because you haven’t been loving yourself enough. You deserve to be loved, so love yourself.
