Hi Everyone,
As busy mom's (yes, I know there are men reading too but you don't suffer from this as much as women so you have to bear with me here), wives, business women, workers, girl Fridays...what have you, we can sometimes get down on ourselves. We always have guilt that we don't spend enough time with our children, that we messed them up so bad that they will never turn into productive adults, that we can't concentrate at work because yada yada at home it going on... I am declaring it is "You are awesome" day!
This is the day when you give yourselves a break! Your kids aren't going to graduate high school in diapers! They will some how manage to live with their dysfunctional childhood just like we all did. Not only that you have done an awesome job just by getting them to school today with their PB&J sandwich. You get to take a break because you have done everything right this morning (no really, you did). Today everything you have done or will do is just what was supposed to happen and it will all turn out perfectly! Every time you have a thought that something went wrong turn it around and say "That was perfect!"
Not only that... you are not fat today. You don't need to lose weight you are perfect just the way you are! You aren't too skinny either, perfect remember? Don't beat yourself up over that extra piece of chocolate today because it is helping you to maintain your perfection :)
If any of your friends says I need to lose weight tell them how perfect they are. Even better write a tiny little note to at least two friends today to tell them how perfect they are. How much you love them and wouldn't change a thing about them. Be sincere, they will appreciate it :)
Go forth and be awesome... and pass it on!

ReplyDeleteDebbie
sigh... you do rock! thanks my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. Sometimes we really need to hear that because let's face it, usually you only hear complaints when something isn't right at home. You don't usually get too much praise. At least I don't. Sometimes it's nice to know we're OK.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a fab idea! Seems like the prefect day to do my PIF posts then :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie, I needed to hear this today, now I'm going to take your advice and send a note to my friends and tell them how beautiful and perfect they are. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! We have recently coined a saying at my house: "It is a Good Day to be Leslie!!" I hope today is also a Good Day to be Julie!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE awesome Julie! And I may have yelled it much louder had my name been the winner of that awesome fabric but you're still awesome either way. HA
ReplyDeletebesides you said I'm not fat today so you moved right to the top of my 'like' list for the day. HA

Yay! perfection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely, feelgood post. Made my day! Hugs, Sandy. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome yes! Great, wonderful, fabulous, amazing - we're all those things! But not perfect, I'm afraid! NO ONE is perfect! I was taught that only God is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI will ignore my wobbly bits today! xx
ReplyDeleteI *am* awesome! Thanks for the reminder, even though my coffee boiled over in the microwave and I poured boiling water on my hand making oatmeal this morning. The rest of the day has to get better thanks to my awesomeness! :-D
