I thought I would share my first entry in my book of thoughts, that I started today. I decided to make this to help on days that I am struggling. To help me see the “glimmer” in those days. I think we often forget to pause and reflect. Reflect on our thoughts, and our actions. Whether that’s something I can personally change in what I do or react to, or how those around me act. It’s hard to not get sucked into others emotions or personal battles. Lately I have felt like a punching bag between my mother, father and husband. That I’m just in the middle and every direction I turn someone takes another punch. It’s been hard, the last few months with it taking a lot out of me emotionally, and physically. But, I’m hoping when those days arise again, I can pull out this book and remind myself to not get pulled under. I can’t control the way others behave or react but I can control myself. Maybe these little blurbs will help someone else too.
