Affirmations and Love!

 "May the most you wish for be the least that you get!"

This little gem came in a box of "Aim for the stars" affirmations/positive quotes that I got and I have held onto it for a few years now - moving it around the office, choosing a different viewing point every once in a while so that it didnt become "invisible" in the fray that is currently my office. So I dont get so used to seeing it that I dont "see" it anymore.

It is a great reminder to 

A.  Love your people - If this is your wish for your people they will be doing pretty good at least from your side of the world!

B.  GIve yourself a little grace too - wish for all the things that that you are hoping for yourself also!

C.  Help others find the good things too - to be able to hope for more for themselves.  Even strangers. (except if they are trying to steal your hope)!

I got this little box from my sister (in a love her people moment) and it also has great little affirmations for every day - especially if I am struggling.  I have struggled often since the loss of Rye among other things, and finding meaning and reason to get out of bed, and sometimes just the right glance, at the right place, can help boost my mood and help the head and the heart stay where they need to be!

Full of great sayings and reminders, choosing a new one almost daily to see what the "cards hold" literally, is a fun and easy way to keep F'ing going each day.

 

And then there is this awesome "Ducking Duck" since I cant (and shouldn't but sometimes do anyway) say the "F" word at school - I can still have a smile - the friend who gave me this also struggles and at first she was resistant to the idea that I was put on the earth to make sure everyone is comfortable with the word F*&K, and she has joined the "dark side" in a good way!  Making it a funny, gentle reminder that I can say things at school and keep them appropriate!

Although Im not a super religious person (or very much at all - really), this little remimder is on my office door at the school.  I thought it was by someone like Mother Theresa, or Florence Nightengale or someone of that type of living, but it turns out is really is a Bible verse from Galatians 6:9!  We were asked at some point last year to put some positive quotes or affirmation, either on our doors or outside our doors, and this is the one I chose for this assignment and I have left it there all this time as it has gotten great reviews.  Everyone who see it stops and thinks about what it means - for me and for them - even the kids.

And this one, that I got from a friend at the beginning of this very hard road.  It sometimes helps me remember what my purpose here is; keeping people comfortable with words like F*&k, and reminding me that today is only one day, there will be many days, and some will be brilliant - if I keep my hopes, and my expectations in mind, and look ahead for the good!

I hope that the most that you wish for is the least that you get all the time!

Love your people!  Blessed Be!
