Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 364 - 'one' lesson or two

Everyday seems to be a day where I learn more about myself and what I need to do.  I thought that today would be a day of more energy and getting things done.  But last night presented itself as sleepless in Delta.  I was still optimistic about my energy level when I got up today.  I even ventured out to take Mr. Dudley for a walk, something I haven't done for a few days, poor guy. 

During our walk I felt like...
 taking one step in front of the other was an effort. As the animal kingdom seems to have a keen sense of how you are feeling, Dudley walked as slow as me without pulling his leash and his desperate need to get to the park fast to take his morning, well you know!  Walking home was even harder. 

I managed to get him fed and then I found that wonderful mattress on the floor to slide into and try to catch some shut eye.  I've also been struggling to eat today but my hubby will come to help me when he gets home and find something for me I'm sure.

Never giving up on those
stilts we've been given in our life.
Everyday is not going to be a good day I know that.  But even today I found the voices in my head to be encouraging, calming and reminding me of all my blessings.  Yes, it's frustrating when my body has more control of me than my mind but I learn everyday something new thanks to the new voices in my brain. 

Thank you voices for making this day good, even though I didn't get much done. The words that now ring in my head are such a refreshing change.  Too bad that so much time has been wasted listening to the wrong voices that have limited my inner joy and happiness for so long.  No more time wasted now, I guarantee that!

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
