When the news is too bleak, remember to hope.
When harsh words are about to come out, remember to pause.
Even a brief pause can do wonders.
When your feet get too weary, remember to dance.
When you feel like you don’t have enough, remember to give.
When you fear you’ve done too much damage, remember you’ve got today to make amends.
Even a quiet “I’m sorry” can do wonders.
When you feel like you’re going nowhere, remember how far you’ve come.
When you feel like a colossal failure, remember you are your worst critic.
When you’re just too darn tired, remember it’s okay to stop.
Even a brief rest can do wonders.
When you have too many things on your plate, remember you don’t have to do it all.
When you have too many balls in the air, remember to hold the most important one.
When the morning is one mad dash, remember to say goodbye.
Even a brief hug can do wonders.
When you can’t see the goodness through the chaos and the clutter, remember to keep looking.
The moments that keep us going can be found in the most unsuspecting places, in the most challenging times.
And even just one of them, tucked inside the arm of our precious one or in the midst of a trying day, can do wonders.
