today I noticed

CIMG3064Today

I cleaned the house, the kind of cleaning that happens when guests come.

Today

I wondered why I am devoted to my guests coming into a clean and neat home and I am not equally devoted to giving this same thoughtfulness to myself.

Today

I chose to be curious instead of plop myself straight into failure-as-a-human land.

Today

When I chose to be curious instead of self judgemental, I noticed brief moments of contentment amidst tasks I hate.

Today

As I acted from devotion to another, I took wholehearted action in an area I typically aviod as much at possible. Because I want my guest to be welcomed with spaciousness and beauty in my home.

Today

I felt my heart break a little when I realized I do not hold the space of such devotion for myself.

Today

Because I chose curiosity instead of judgment I am left exploring how I would be different if I treated myself with the gracious consideration and devotion I give my guests.
