The Note to Myself

The Note to Myself

Sometimes when I send others a note or a word of encouragement, but sometimes I have to pull them up, mentally and reflect the note to myself.

Today, was truly one of those days. I started out early doing my normal grandparent duty of walking my Andre’ to the bus stop.

As I was walking back I noted the beauty of the moon, something so simple and I had to share the above post on facebook.

I thought about how people tend to always complain about Mondays, the first workday of the week, for many. I thought about how bless we are to see Monday and how we should appreciate the opportunity to make it GREAT.

As the day began to break, my daughter called me to tell me how five of her co-workers called in sick today. I told her to seize the opportunity to still make it a great day.

I spent a little more of my morning trying to encourage others with a kind word when I could, this of course, can help me to have a great day too, as you lift someone else up right?

Well, all was well, today until 3:30, when I picked the three grands up from school. I got pass a few of the bumps in the road, metaphorically speaking, on the way to picking them up.

Awwww…. but on the way home the four year old turned into someone working for the other side of peace. I tried to reflect back to my post and then to my days of working in high pace emergency situations of trying to find and hold on to the calm.

In those cases you are always sending yourself mental notes of reflections of things you have overcome in high anxiety situations, trying to stay focus and not allowing the tense situation to adjust your stand negatively.

All notes are helpful. Positive notes of what you told some else to do in the situation. What you read, anything to help you cope properly.

…and if all else fail, you reflect God’s word. “Spare the rod, ruin the child.” :)

Well, I reflected all the notes to myself and the best one for this day, for this little person was the word of God, because all else failed and you know what, we ended up having a great day after all, I just needed a bit of adjustment in the notes to myself to make it a great day.
