Today’s Poem is by Laura Ding-Edwards:
If the mountain seems too big today then climb a hill instead;
If morning brings you sadness it's okay to stay in bed.
If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,
There's no shame in rearranging, don't make yourself feel worse.
If a shower stings like needles and a bath feels like you'll drown;
If you haven't washed your hair for days, don't throw away your crown!
A day is not a lifetime.
A rest is not defeat.
Don't think of it as failure, Just a quiet, kind retreat.
It's okay to take a moment
From an anxious, fractured mind.
The world will not stop turning
While you get realigned!
The mountain will still be there
When you want to try again
You can climb it in your own time, Just love yourself till then!
Laura Ding-Edwards
Wishing you a happy Friday. Berit
