I feel dull this morning, wrapped in the cool embrace of the morning air as I breath and walk and listen to the birds wake and give praise for the day. I sometimes allow my mind to wander, when it feels safe enough to let it do so. This morning my mind wants, not from expectation, more from hope…and if you would allow me to be selfish, for just a moment…

I want you to listen to me.

I want you to be at peace.

I want you to know that you are never alone.

I want you to do better today, then you did yesterday.

I want you to find success.

I want you to smile, a genuine smile.

I want to hear you laugh.

I want you to not be afraid.

I want you to really recognize and feel that you are accepted no matter what.

I want you to stay strong in your convictions.

I want you to be independent.

I want your independence to be soft enough that you aren’t too stubborn to ask for help or friendship.

I want you to express and maintain your boundaries.

I want you to be confident.

I want you to be honest.

I want you to be comfortable in your skin.

I want you to know how amazing you are!

I want to hug you and let you know that you are worth it, you always have been, no matter what happened to you in the past or how others or even you made yourself feel previously, you have always been worth it!

I want you to allow me this moment to be selfish and to know that these things are true, they are only some of my selfish desires.

Most of all I want you to…

Keep smiling, you’re worth it!

Always Yours
