When All Else Fails

When all else fails . . .

See if you can simply allow yourself to be
exactly where you are
right now
in this moment.

See if you can allow yourself to feel
however you feel
about where you are
about yourself for being where you are
as best you can.

And see if you can give yourself
some compassion
for having an all-too-human experience
and for having all-too-human feelings about it.

Oh,
and by the way . . .
you don't have to wait until "all else fails"
to give any of the above
a try.

From my heart to yours,
Shelly
