Don't Forget To Pick Your Head Up by Derek MacDonald
You'll miss the view you worked so hard for.

The morning air was already thick, promising another hot summer day in Vermont—even though it wasn’t even eight o’clock yet. Blargh. There’s a lot I’m grateful for in my life.
In the day-to-day, it can be easy to overlook all the wonderful stuff. But I’m so lucky. Truly. In life’s stressful moments, I try to remind myself of these things. When I first started doing that, I used it as a grounding technique for managing anxiety. Then I found myself doing it more routinely, sans anxiety. Now, I try to add moments of gratitude to the daily morning pages I write in my notebook.
Like the poem shared in this post, it’s a journey.
onward.
