believe…
My thoughts began stirring even as my sleepy head lay resting contentedly on my memory foam pillow. At this hour of the morning, still too early for me to peel the flannel back from my unfocused peepers, I usually murmur to my brain “Go back to sleep…it’s not yet time…a few more winks…it’s so cold…and I’m sooooo comfy-cozy…all snuggled up in my warm blankets. Then one single, solitary word began repeating itself over and over again. Others slowly followed, until a poem of sorts began to emerge. Unable to stop myself, I leapt into action to put fingers to keyboard.
Believe…
…in yourself
…in your worth…to others…and to you
…in your goodness…and in your desire to do good
…in your possibilities…and that all things are possible
…in your ability…especially in overcoming negativity
…in your strengths…don’t dwell on your weaknesses (we all have a few)
…in those who love you
…in tomorrow, the dawn of a new day
…in your gut instinct…it knows you best
…in compassion…for others…as well as yourself
…that you are your own best friend…always root for youself
…that you deserve to be alive…and that you DO make a difference
…that you can do whatever it is you want…and that you will succeed
…that it is you who sets your own agenda…not others
…and always believe…that happiness is there for the taking…in all the small moments…every day of your life…
………hugmamma.

This is absolutely beautiful….is it okay if I add it to a background and put it in a section (called “other” ) of my blog where I keep inspirational ideas that I get, mostly from others?…ones that I take frequent looks at took keep myself inspired. And I want to send it along to my 24 year old daughter too… kathy
Absolutely!!! Getting positive messages out into the world is what you and I are all about, dear friend. Bless you a thousandfold…and your precious daughter. I have one of those…a 25-year-old.

holiday happiness…throughout 2012…and beyond…
I believe… words can sometimes be too much, too insistent, too urgent to be contained in a human mind. And I love yours!
Thank you Hugmamma!
Your friend,
Mar
Oh, lovey! You are just what the doctor ordered! huge hugs, dear, dear friend. With friends like you…my world is bereft of enemies.
And happy weekend hugs right back at you, all the way from Holland. Vman and I are throwing a little tapas dinner party for two friends, so I’ve been in the kitchen all day. Mmmmm, I believe… it is tasting quite nice
I’m savoring the aromas all the way over here in the Seattle suburbs. Email me some goodies? ha, ha. Lucky, lucky friends…is it almost dinner time?
Alright, check your inbox
And yes, I believe… they will be here in half an hour.
…any leftovers?
