Do you ever have those mornings when your head feels like it’s in a complete fog, and when you look out the window, the world mirrors your mind and traps you in dense clouds where you can’t see more than a few feet in front of you? That’s today.
I tried opening the finder window to begin writing this morning, and clicked the wrong one four times.
I forgot to turn my headlights on (dangerous in the fog).
I used face wash as shampoo.
And I made hot tea this morning without putting in the teabag. So, I basically made hot water for 10 minutes.
These type of mornings aren’t the greatest. They don’t set one up for a successful work day, and everything feels difficult, but guess what?
We eventually get our finder windows open to the right one.
We find our headlight switch.
Face wash is still soap.
As long as the hot water is at least warm, you can still use it for tea.
You showed up, and that’s what counts. Even when days don’t start like we want them to or don’t finish as well as they start, showing up and trying is a win in itself.
So, if you’re having a day like me, enjoy the fog and smile in the fact that you showed up.
