Who have you taken for granted? Write to them a handwritten note expressing how you truly feel about them. Then mail it. I promise, it will be the best gift they ever receive, or you ever give. (Author: Lee)
I thought I was sure of WHO I would write this note to.
What surprised me was realising who else I take for granted and never really acknowledge.
I have assumed there would BE time.
I have said it wasn't important.
Enough.
But I was wrong.
Life is Now. Right Now. And gone in a blink. Doesn't come back. No rewind.
So, as I thought today of worthiness and people I take for granted, it dawned on me that I needed to let ME know how I truly feel about myself.
Despite EVERYthing I've turned upside-down and knocked over, I have grown into my awkwardness.
I have changed myself from the inside out. I am consistent in my willingness to go the distance, however far, however difficult the path.
I listen and I care.
I've BEcome the sort of friend to myself that I've always longed for but couldn't cultivate since I never thought I was worth anyone taking that kind of time.
While I can't write myself a note and then let myself receive it "out of the blue," I can change the way I put me LAST on my list of acknowledgements.
I can change how I think and I can stand in what I feel.
Without apology.
Without shame.
With just a wee bit of awe.
And much love.
