Steps

Tonight, it hit me - how many steps I've taken to get here, to this moment in time. I did a weird "foot mask" earlier this week, while trying to achieve a little self-care! #Betterhabits

This was my first time doing this. I like those little packages at the drug store - for only a few bucks, you can try a mask and feel fancy! This one was for my feet. I like nice clean-feeling feet after a winter of too many socks. The weather is nicer and I wanted to feel refreshed. This mask is meant to exfoliate and shed the old dead skin from under your feet. It's a thing - foot mask. Who knew! After a good bath tonight, it definitely did what it was supposed to. As I was cleaning up my feet, the dead skin was falling off, revealing soft new skin underneath. Beautiful new skin that seemed ready for new adventures. As I literally shed part of the old me, the skin on the feet that brought me to this day revealed itself ready for action. I realized in that moment that this fresh new skin had never walked my steps with me. It was a new beginning for it, much like for me, with all my previous steps are behind me. #Release Every step I take from this moment on will be brand new, full of new possibilities.

Steps As I embark to rise above the past,

I leave the old me behind.

No more replaying the tapes of my previous self

That I've made a habit to carry around.

I release the worries that I hold.

What if...what if.... what if it all works out, I say! I wake up in the morning knowing who I am,

Now trusting the steps I take.

With my new feet, clean from the memories,

Clean from all the steps I took before.

I take my first step towards a better me, The best version of me yet... and more!

Each day, we can take new steps. One at a time.

Each of us can choose each step,

I can choose each of mine.

A step towards making yourself smile.

A step towards your goal.

A step to the mirror, to say I love you.

A step to the kitchen fruit bowl!

A step you thought you'd never take,

But aren't you proud you did.

A step towards that lifelong wish,

That started as a kid.

Lace-up your shoes,

Hold your head up high.

Cause today is the first day,

Of the rest of your life. Step, step, step...

Writing this is my next step, towards writing so much more.

Tune in next time, for poetry, deep thoughts, and so many more steps! :) Goodnight.
