Dearest Poppet,
I hope that you are able to enjoy the season – my human and I have been spending a great deal of time by the water. She now wears a soft tan while I am still pale. Thankfully, since I am a doll I didn’t burn – I am certain I would have if I were human!
Just relaxing in the water felt calming, restorative to us both. There is so much to strive for but it is important to relish in water you do have. It took us about 6 months to even step into the water, what a waste in hindsight. I hope that I am not sounding trite to say ‘be thankful’ because being appreciative doesn’t mean anything that needs to change, is actually any different. There is still so much to work on and so much that needs to be improved, why stop to smell the roses?
The reason is because we truly distort our vision when we fail to take in the good most times, and everything is always negative. It only takes a slight change in perspective (or the wisdom of a friend) to show us all that we have, which can be more than we realize. Even the simple stuff such as health really isn’t that simple when we delve deeper – it can be gone in an instant and take so much to get back to the place that we took for granted.
Even if things are not matching to what you hoped for this week – I truly hope that you find moments that remind you of the good things.
With love,
Irene la poupée
