It's All Good!

12 September 2012

It's all good!  During last year's PTA leadership when volunteers were slim, I said that a LOT!!!  This is what I say when I get under pressure or am facing a daunting situation.  It's all good!  It's in part to calm my nerves and those around me.  However, it's also to remember that this too shall pass... sometimes like a kidney stone... but it shall pass!  In the big picture, "it's all good" puts this moment into perspective.  It's usually not life or death...it's a learning opportunity.

So, I'm learning!  Yesterday was a "it's all good" type of day.  My head needed reminding that my body has some more recuperating to do yet.  Like many others, I got full of myself and did too much too soon.  (Hindsight, I should have known that water the whole yard, tending the garden and watering the landscaping was not the most brilliant idea I've had!).

God knows you need energy, support, healing and community.  Somehow you found yourself here today.  No matter what kind of day you've had so far, realize it really is all good.  Why?  Because no matter what tomorrow brings, we know that God holds tomorrow... and the day after that... and the day after that.  God holds you as a precious daughter/ son.  You matter.  You make a difference.  You change the world by just being in it.

I'm learning how pain and exhaustion provide solid feedback on my body's limits. Today, I behaved and things are better.  Getting stronger mentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually includes finding our limits, taking care of ourselves, and realizing pain and exhaustion aren't enemies...the are informers of how far we can go.  So, even if today has been a cruddy day, it's all good... and tomorrow will be another day.
