Days when you wake up
a little less than inspired,
wondering if it’s worth it,
regretting the past,
fearing the future,
are the days for starting with
self-compassion.
Forgive your past,
let go of the future (for a moment),
and embrace right now,
Wonder at the
overwhelming beauty of who you are,
breathe deeply,
and commit to one loving act
towards another.
Then, let the day begin.
