Ever Have Days?
Ever have days where it all seems impossible, even the littlest things? I think we all need a reminder, time to time, of how strong we are, even when – and perhaps the most - when we feel it the least. Whether it’s letting someone know how we feel, sharing a truth that needs to see the light of day, taking a necessary risk, doing something that scares the *&$% out of us, or owning up to something we are not proud of, we all need a little push on some days, to take each step towards that which we seek out, want or need.
You are powerful when you believe in yourself – when you know that you are capable of anything you put your mind to.
You are beautiful when your strength and determination shines as you follow your own path – when you aren’t disheveled by the obstacles along the way.
You are unstoppable when you let your mistakes educate you, as your confidence builds from experiences – when you know you can fall down, pick yourself up, and move forward.

And if that is not encouragement enough, for we can find ourselves on the top step one day, and back at the bottom in the same hour, day, or week…then perhaps this little cheerleader can help remind you to not give up!

Yes Bon, I think we all feel like that somedays. Somedays more than others. Sometimes it’s our shades are in the way of the sun. Sometimes it’s more than the shades that are in the way. ‘just keep muddling through’
Thank you, Bonnie. My day is just starting and it already feels like it’s going to be “one of those days,” so I appreciated reading this.
Maria – glad this could serve as a little boost on a busy Monday morning for you! No fun when the week starts out and you already are having ‘one of those days’. Hope everything evens out and the rest of the week is smooth sailing!
she’s great…but my heart still belongs to another cheerleader, the best cheerleader. pom poms at the ready bonbon…all for one and one for all…xoxo love you and MISS YOU.
Rhonda, you are the best! I was not even connecting my infamous and short cheear leading career with this little cutie pie! Yes, all for one and one for all! MISS YOU TOO! xoxo
OMG, so cute…loved it Bonnie.
David, I am so glad!! Thank you
That little certainly wasn’t giving up her song!! Awesome
No…and neither should we!! Glad you liked it! ♥
Just what I needed to get moving on this chilly grey morning, thanks Bon! xo.
Amb…so glad that this gave you a little boost on a chilly winter work day! We need help in every form on those kinds of days! xo
Don’t stop don’t give up. Don’t stop don’t give up. Keep trying. Keep trying. Yep – it stuck! Love u Bon-bon!
It does have that sticking power quality doesn’t it…I suppose that’s part of the beauty of it! ♥ u too PSB!!
Fantastic, Bonnie! This is just the push I needed today to get to that top step
Dianne…that is GREAT! I am so glad you got a needed push from this! I really love that step-by-step process, and can see how I go through that process over and over and over again…. curious what you accomplished!!
You have given us all a new mantra…a far more eloquent exposition than ‘yes you can’…and yes YOU can too BonBon..xox
She is adorable, and her little chant does have a way of sticking in our minds! We all can, and I am just glad to be counted among the WE…and with an amazing cheering section, my faith increases daily!
xoxo me
You my friend, have an entire stadium of supporters – and we’re all doing the wave…xoxo
Wonderful post, Bonnie, and that little girl is *precious*!!! A friend recently told me, when listening to my lament that things weren’t going *quite* as smoothly as I’d liked/hoped/planned, that if I wasn’t making mistakes, I wasn’t doing anything. So I keep pickin’ myself up and dustin’ myself off… Thanks for the reminder that if ya just keep your eye on the end game, you’ll eventually achieve your goals. xoxo, l
Isn’t she darling? And with such spirit! Your friend is wise, but still so challenging when what we are doing just isn’t working! I am glad you have that kind of friend to hear you out and help you get re-focused; it’s just too easy to get stalled sometimes. Hugs….B xo
