Whoever needs to hear this today…
There is no consequence to not tweezing your brows even though you can see two errant hairs close up when you look in a magnified mirror.
Your family will not fall apart if you have leftovers three days in a row.
If you wash whites and colors together, nobody has to know. Nobody. Will. Know.
A three-hour trash TV marathon is good therapy.
A nice, well-timed depression nap can make all things new.
Your kids can eat an all-beige diet for all their preschool years and be fine (Flintstone Chewable’s cover a multitude of nutritional sins.)
Listening to really good, really loud music is CHURCH.
Staring off into space for extended periods of time is not a waste of it.
Holding hands is not just for children.
Don’t forget to lollygag and dilly-dally on the regular.
Store-bought is fine, if you can’t make your own serotonin and dopamine.
Paper plates are a mom’s best friend.
Animals are kind of superior to (a lot of) humans.
Remember that “no” is a complete sentence.
Cut ties with people who make you feel less-than important. Or LESS THAN, period.
Buy the concert tickets. You’ll almost never be sorry.
Not a single soul on this planet is better than you. Straighten your crown. You deserve to be wearing it.
Straighten your sister’s crown too, and remind her she’s a queen.
Hit the meeting. (If you know, you know.)
Be sloppily thankful for blessings, and ardently prayerful for troubles.
Shave your legs. Or don’t. No one cares.
Tomorrow is a fine day to start what you put off starting today.
Write the words, paint the picture, sing loud and badly, laugh until you pee yourself a little. And then laugh again.
And remember you are hurtling through space in a big, blue marble through an infinite, ever-expanding universe, and you yourself are made out of stardust and moxie for the express purpose of learning to love and be loved.
So love already.
That’s the main thing.
Blessed be.
