Thursday Thoughts: Universal Message

Time keeps going by in a blink. I have good days and bad days. I have momentss of clarity and moments with a foggy brain. I have times when I’m impatient as hell and times when I know I have to just keep plodding along. And yes. I’m talking both about life and this damn book. Pardon the cursing. Normally, I save those words for my characters–not that I don’t say them IRL. I do try to keep my posts on the cleaner side. Today is not that day. I hit a snag in the WIP yesterday. There’s a glitch in the timeline and I have yet to discover a solution. As a result, I only managed one chapter of edits. I’m hoping for one of those inspirational clarity days today.

Needless to say, I woke up grumpy. Cat scritching, dog petting, and copious amounts of coffee haven’t helped. But then this popped back up in my inbox as I was clearing it out prior to facing my frustrations. And it hit me. Hard. This is a message we ALL need. Today. Tomorrow. Every day from here until there.

Think that it’s fun, Silver. That you’re guided. And that all is well.

That there’s time, that life is easy, and that the best is yet to come.

Think that the reasons that now elude you will one day catch up.

That the lessons now before you will one day bring joy.

And that the sorrows that have crippled you will soon give you wings.

Think that you’re important, that you cannot fail, and that happiness always returns.

And think that you’re beautiful, Silver.

I do,
The Universe

P.S. You can also think that you’re mine, forever, Silver, if you don’t mind the age difference.

And yes, if my brain was focused on this post, I’d be analysing how this all relates to writing romance because yeah, it does. That thought is there in the back of my mind. But for now, it’s enough to just go with the meaning to normal people (writers are NOT normal! Trust me!!) and their lives. So wherever your thoughts are today, remember this: You’re important, happy will be there, and you are beautiful.

    Sorry to hear about the snag. Your epiphany moment will come and you’ll get it untangled. And if you need help, let me know. As for being crankypants… :hugs:

    Yep, we all need to keep looking forward and thinking positively. And you are beautiful. =o)

    Sorry about the cranky beginning of the day. I’m glad The Universe decided to do an intervention. It’s a fantastic message and you’re right, we all need it.

    Hugs!
