Do Something Today
Today I am grateful for dual purpose umbrellas-protection from rain one day and from sun the next. I am also grateful for opportunities to change.
Speaking of change, you will notice a little different look to my blog, in terms of color and background. I am a creature of habit and operate along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." But I also get complacent and full of fear about things too.
Over the last year, other family and work demands left me little time most days to do other than write and publish my posts. I knew it was going to be that kind of year, and the vitally important parts were still happening-this writer kept writing, this person seeking mindfulness kept practicing gratitude.
I have had basically the same blog design for over 1000 posts. I am not very confident in my technical skills so when I get a routine down, I like to stick to it. There are times, however, when we need to step out into the unknown. Changing my blog design took a couple clicks and was a minor example of this stepping out. As silly as it may sound to some, I still had to muster some courage to click.
I did something different today with my blog. Where else in my life do I need to do something today?
Someone in a conversation in recent days used that line-"Do something today." Do something. Don't overdo. Don't underdo. Just do something today. Something you want to do. Something you love to do. Something you have been putting off. Something you will be glad to be done doing.
Whatever your somethings are today, approach them with gratitude. We each get today. Some people had their last day yesterday, last month, last year. You and I are still here. Do something today.

Like it! Appreciate the daily dose of gratitude.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve! It is surprising how set in my ways I can get and change is often energizing.
