This past Christmas, Santa brought me an inspirational journal with some coloring options. I haven't owned a coloring book in decades, probably since my youth. Maybe I joined in the fun with my kids when they were young. I honestly don't remember. Anyway, I thought I would give it a try because it sounded relaxing. Well, after the strawberries came to life, my neck began to bark at me. Who knew that coloring could be tough on the body! I sat at the table with my head down, all concentration geared towards keeping the red within the lines. I suppose with any activity, some part of our body will begin to bark sooner or later. So, baby steps, right?
For any goal we set, we begin by taking baby steps. No one starts out at the top. Everyone finds their starting point at the bottom then the climb begins until the destination is reached. This doesn't mean we won't stumble, but we will press on. So, I'll return to this beautiful image, and soon the blooms and leaves will come alive in their wardrobes of oranges, yellows, purples, pinks, and greens. One small step at a time.
So, be kind to yourself, be patient, go slow in whatever you set out to do - believe that you will get there! You know you will because you're awesome, because you're YOU!
Even baby steps will move you forward!
The path will shine its light
showing you the way.
Wear confidence on your sleeve
to begin the gift of each new day!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping in to my little corner of blogland! ❤️
