Live Each Day Like Your Waiting For A Package From Amazon
Years ago when I was heavily dealing with some of “side effects “ of life threatening chronic illness
My councilor gave me probably the best advice I’ve ever head .
“ Live every day like your waiting for an exciting package from Amazon “
And explained to me that often the joy and excitement we get , is not really from the item itself . But it comes in the waiting , the planning and the prepping for something great to arrive.
( I think I can low key blame my shopping addiction on him 😂😉)
But with the chaos I know is coming
I’ve found myself
Re learning the importance of that statement
Though illness has turned me into a realist .
Most of the time being a realist is vastly overrated.
Sometimes you have to mentally plan that interior design room makeover
( that may take a year or more to actually get done )
Step by step plan the dream garden
( that your probably to sick to actually do )
Dream of moving to sea level ( to help your crap lungs ) to an equestrian community
and start from scratch
( You all live in this economy and have seen the housing market.. you know this is the biggest day dream of them all 😂)
But gotta dream of vacations your going to take , places your going to see , things your going to do .
Even if it’s just for the fact that , dreaming about a brighter tomorrow
Makes getting out of bed today a bit easier .
Sure there is a GIANT chance the things you dream of won’t happen .
But even the most harsh of realist , can’t deny that there is a chance that they might .
I say , believe in the good that’s to come ❤️
