“I’m good enough.   I’m smart enough and doggone it, people like me!”

Yesterday  was one of those days when I felt like nothing was going right.  I overslept.  I left my planner on the chaise.  That doesn’t sound like a big deal, except my entire life is in that planner, all my money and  my ID, including my health insurance card, which I would need for my son’s appointment at the children’s hospital later on in the day.  As I prepared to leave work to go get my boy from school, I got a text from the big girl’s teacher.  She got sick while on a field trip and I needed to come get her.  I was already running late, and now I had to make two stops before I could even head to the hospital.

I didn’t even mention the mess of work I left on my desk,

I most certainly did not feel like it was my best day.  My brain was addled and I spent money unnecessarily as a result of my disorganization.  There is not much I want to affirm about the mishaps of yesterday, but…

• I’m good enough…I showed up to work.  I did a decent job of serving those I came into contact with, while I was there…even the man who cussed me out.  I thanked him and told him to enjoy his day.  That’s certainly good enough.
• I’m smart enough…I picked up the money i needed  for today on the way home from the hospital, yesterday.  I wrote down all the things I still need to do .  I learned from yesterday’s mistakes.  That’s certainly smart enough.
• And doggone it people like me. ..Okay, well two out of three is not so bad.

Okay, seriously, I’m not every one’s cup of tea.  But most people like weak, watered down and overly sweetened versions of other people anyway.  I have people who love me, who depend on me, and who are willing to hold me up, even on the worst of days.

I can think of no better affirmation than that.
