I am sitting at my desk staring day dreamily through the window trying to decide what to write today, my mind is blank. Amazingly at any other time my mind is pinging with creative ideas and thoughts to write down, but not today.
Cosy and safe in my daydream, feeling completely zoned out, I notice the raindrops falling down on the window pane. I am transported back to being about 10 years old sitting in my mums living room having a raindrop race down the window pane with my younger brother. The enthusiasm we felt was bubbling over and erupting with squeals of excitement coming from us loudly as the raindrops weaved, paused and crossed over on their way down the pane of glass, until one of us became victorious on that day, in that race. It never really mattered to us who won because instinctively even as children we knew there would always be our day to win the race! It was always about the fun and the enjoyment.
Every new storm is a rainy day and every raindrop is a new race to be run. The fun is in the race and it doesn’t matter who is winning because tomorrow always has another race waiting for us to take part in. I need to be mindful not to put so much pressure on myself to enter every “race”.
I have limits and flaws and good days and bad days and that is fine. I do my best every day and that is all any of us can do. If we dont manage to “win” that days race, we have another shot the next day and the next …….
We need to be kinder and more forgiving to ourselves, We need to give love to receive love and self love is one of the most important things that we can give ourselves to be the best version of who we are.
Guess my mind wasn’t blank after all, I just needed to chase some raindrops….
Keep watching the rain ……….
Keep chasing the raindrops ……..
Keep loving yourself ………
