For three minutes celebrate how far you’ve come.
Yesterday my favorite teacher died. She was 95 and was a firecracker everywhere she went and in everyone’s life that she touched and she wore bright lipstick like I did. It made me incredibly sad and I cried. Then I thought about how she would say “sugar, save the tears for someone who needs them.” I owe a lot of who I am to Mrs. Bowdon. Her advice started me on a path of writing and finding my voice and here I am 32 years later. Writing something. Even if it’s just a couple of words or a title and a photograph every day for five years. Having a blog for 20 years. Finding ways to express my creativity every day. I spent three minutes celebrating that today. Reading old blog posts. Looking at photos. Thinking about what Mrs. Bowdon would say. Probably “you don’t have to write every day, Kerry. But your lipstick looks fabulous!”
