Today is the 182nd day of the year, so we are halfway through! Time really goes by quite quickly sometimes – take some time to reflect on all that you have experienced and accomplished so far this year – and perhaps revisit and reimagine resolutions and goals you set for yourself 182 days ago and make new ones for the next 182 days ahead.
Already halfway to 2020….
No matter what time of year it is, what time of day it is, the right choice is always to be kind and compassionate. If you are ever in doubt of what to do, choose the thing that is the most kind.
There is a beautiful mural nearby where I live that says “Kindness is always in season”
Today is the longest day of the entire year, if you live in the northern hemisphere. Because the planet Earth (the one we live on) rotates around the sun on a tilted axis, certain parts of the planet get more or less sun depending on the time of year. Basically, billions of years ago, when our solar system was being formed, tons of bits of mass collided together to form mini planets, which then collided together to form proto-planets, which eventually became most of what our planet is now. Then, another pro-planet collided with the prelude to Earth and put us on our lovely little tilt which is reasonable for the seasons. Amazing! And the seasons are a big part of why life was able to flourish on our planet. Incredible how things tend to all fall into place like that!
Completely fantastic how millions of collisions resulted in a planet with goats. Amazing.
It is Friday after a busy week, so here is a blurry four day old baby Nigerian Dwarf goat to get your weekend started.
I hope that your weekend is full of many wonderful shenanigans!
Do you ever feel like you are an impostor? Somehow careening along, worried that someone might figure out that you don’t belong, or that your accomplishments are not your own? Imposter syndrome can be really difficult and a cause of stress, depression and other bad things. Take solace in the fact that even if you feel like you aren’t, you are worthy, you do belong, and your accomplishments are well deserved because you are amazing.
Everyone feels like an imposter at some point – just remind yourself that you deserve your success
Instead of getting in your car, go for a walk. It’s better for the planet and for your body. Plus you never know what wonderful things you might encounter along the way.
Less driving more living!
It is never too late to try something new or embark on a new adventure. Mondays are a great time to put your new ideas in motion.
The only thing in your way is you – go for it!
Stay curious. Human imagination has led to the discovery of many amazing things, put a man on the moon and eradicated deadly diseases. The possibilities are endless, and it is never too late to learn something new!
Sometimes you don’t really need an inspirational quote to get you through the day. Sometimes, you just need a big cup of coffee.
Thursdays can be exhausting, but there is hope for the weekend, plus there is always coffee!
The difficult days are the ones to endure, because they make the happy and joyous days that much brighter. Take care of yourselves everyone.
Perfection is boring, persistence is amazing.
