a few more "good" thoughts...

as i was sitting in church yesterday...

{ok.  not on this particular chair.  but you get the point.}

i was thinking about cultivating 

"good"

i was thinking about all the well seasoned words that 

invoke the true meaning of 

"good"

in my mind.   in my heart.

i was thinking about the times i haven.t really felt 

"good"

not good at being a wife

not good at mothering my children

not good as a friend

not good as an artist

not good at giving service or charity or love

just plain

"not good"

and my thoughts wandered to a comment 

that was made on my last post about 

"good"

by this beautiful soul whom i had the pleasure to create with

at AN ARTFUL JOURNEY last february.

she said this of the words i suggested for 

"good"...

" i hit on at least a few of those every day. 

it remeinded me that i am 

"good"

 even when I don't always feel that good about myself."

this struck a cord within me.

there are so many lies that swirl about us.

lies that tell us we aren.t

"good"

but yesterday i was gently reminded of the 

beautiful truth of "who" i really am.

who "YOU" really are.

we 

ARE

"good"

we are!

we may not always hit on every measure of the word

but we can "always" hit on one or two.

and then happily kick those little lies to the curb.

even when we don.t exactly feel that good about ourselves...

we are.

got it?

"good"

{keep cultivating "good"}
