Good Morning Peeps!
This Wednesday morning here in Nashville it is a wet one. Right at the moment I am sitting here drinking my hot cup of Hazelnut coffee ... asking myself....what is on my mind?
Seems this morning I am seeking for even more Silver Linings than normal. Yesterday at work I over exerted my right lower back moving a very heavy can full of ice salt. Hours after doing it I was feeling the after effects. Today is even more challenging. So...this is another perfect oppurtunity to put into effect my practice of finding my positives that will out weight the negatives.
My first thought was at least I can walk, very slowly and carefully, but I can walk! Second was I can stand and hold my guitar and play...which is absolutely aweome! Thirdly....like all things that come and go....this to will eventually heal and pass. I may need to get a little medical help, but it will in time be a thought of the past. While I was typing these thoughts....my mind seemed to relax and then I could hear the birds outside my window singing there song. That my Peeps is the most beautiful sound to hear in the morning and absolutely brings a smile to my face. Feels like Spring already.
Basically, I am bound and determined to not let this mere set back effect me emtionally or mentally. This morning I felt it creeping like a dark shadow.....but no...I'm not going to let it happen. Between my Silver Linings, perspective and inner reflection..... I will find away to keep the positive flow going....no matter how challenging it may be! After all....it all begins with me and my own perceptions!
Peeps, we all face challenges and some more extreme than others, but there is always a balance to be found to see things on the brighter side! Have an awesome Wednesday and I will catch you on the flipside!
