It’s Monday. It’s cold. The weekend was short and the week ahead will likely be long. Odds are you’re feeling at least a little tired, perhaps somewhat broken and overwhelmed. In the interest of not wishing our lives away by hoping the days will move quickly, I offer you this quote:
“You are worn and cracked and dented. And that is okay because I have never heard of a clean and shiny sword that won a war.”
Erin Van Vuren, Writer
Go forth, my friends. Do what you must to find joy in each day. Go to sleep every night satisfied that you did your best. Remember that tomorrow is a beautiful new day and one waiting to be discovered. You can do this – despite those cracks and dents.
I got a little cracked and dented by my critique group today. But the comments will send me back to the drawing board for something better!
Ouch! Criticism, even the constructed and solicited kind, can hurt. You do have the right attitude. You’ll get to a better place!!!
Eh, this is what we signed up for. It will be better for a rewrite. I give my two cents, too!
Love this – “Do what you must to find joy in each day.”
