I HAVE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE TO THANK here WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN ME TO GET ME WHERE I AM TODAY.
(I’ll do that personally.)
On to SNOOP…
Did you notice him at the checkout counter?
I say to myself in the mirror when I am feeling overwhelmed, “Thank you”. Or, I listen to that famous Snoop Dog speech where he thanked himself. A lot of people thought it was a joke when he did it. Here is the youtube link.
BUT, REALLY…
Some days I have to space out & tune out ALL of my responsibilities of being an Anndrea, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a frister, a friend, a grieving mama, a business person, an owner of a business, an accountant (for home & work)… Some days I have to say out loud to myself, “Anndrea-you first! Get something to eat! Or, Rest!” Some days I just have to simply say, “Thank you” to ME for showing up. For getting out of bed. For doing the damn thing.
Have you thanked yourself lately?
Try looking yourself in the eyes in the mirror & say, “Thank you”.
People can help you & give you the tools, but damn gurl-it’s up to you to use ‘em!
That's why I kept the Snoop planter by the counter & will carry him with me to 2724. A lady randomly put a $1 tip in it and I think that dollar will stay with Snoop forever as a reminder on the hard days to Thank myself. (She also sang somewhere over the rainbow to me, but that's another blog for another day...)
Thank you.
Thank me.
Go Thank Yourself!
And, if you read this far, thanks again!

p.s. I'm procrastinating doing paperwork...I wanted to take a pic of me & Snoop for the memory book of 1404.
p.p.s. Hippie Houseplants gifted me the planter.
