I have to confess that I didn’t feel particularly inspired or creative today. Instead, it was one of those days where it all felt like a long, repetitive, energy-draining slog, and no thoughts came to mind for a Nurturing Thursday blog post. So, after work and laundry, I spent a little time browsing through word-art images in the hope that something inspiring would turn up. What I found was this timely reminder:
Life may have its dull moments, but because character is formed in large part by everyday habits, just going through the day and getting things done without drama is not a bad thing. Even on days that feel less than inspired, it’s good to keep in mind that in a few years, we may look back and realize that we accomplished much more than we knew at the time.

Those ole Greek guys knew a thing or two, didn’t they?
And a very good reminder about life’s rhythms – up and down, slow and fast, dull and sparkly…
It’s all about daily practice 🙂
PS I loved your comment – yes, it does look like a big rubber stamp – maybe it say ‘excellent’ on the bottom 😀
Thanks! Yes, practice is a good way of looking at it 🙂
Each day — whether brimming with optimistic outcomes, downward swirls, a no drama/crisis day or a stable status quo day — lessons are there for us — and sometimes, just getting through the day in one piece, or sticking to our “chores” to keep life moving — is a Red Letter Day! Thank you for sharing your day and connecting to Nurturing Thursday!
Hi Becca, yes, there’s always a lesson to be found somewhere!
