1. Bedsores.
(A painful reminder that when you hang around in one place for too long it starts hurtin’).
2. You’re needed.
(And you won’t know how or why unless you start the ball rolling).
3. You have much to offer.
(No matter how bad things are. Some of us are gurus; some of us are cautionary tales. We all give in one way or another).
4. Today’s the day.
(This is always true)
5. It saves energy.
(Studies show it takes less energy to jump out of bed than it does to lie there thinking about the reasons you shouldn’t. If you want to know what studies you can Google it – but you’re going to have to get out of bed to turn on the computer).
6. You’re loved.
(I don’t know. That’s for you to figure out.)
7. Your dog needs to pee.
(So you don’t have a dog. Who else is counting on you to show up?)
8. Life is short.
(I believe yours is shorter than mine. But then, who doesn’t?)
9. There is much to learn.
(We’re waiting for you , Teach).
10. One day Death will come.
(He should find you busy. Make him wait.)
Some days it’s all you can do to get your feet into the right shoes. This is a playful companion for those few and far between days.
