You are only human. Sometimes people make mistakes and that's okay. It's alright to sometimes not know the answer to the things life throws at you. Just remember to take a step back from time to time. Figure things out in your own time. Remember to eat something, to have some water. To get some fresh air today. To get some rest. To take any medication that you need to. Remember to take care of yourself.

You are not a bad person for removing some of the bad people in your life. Sometimes things just aren't meant to work out with some people and that's okay. Your health and wellbeing come first and foremost.

Breaks are just as important as work. So remember to treat yourself to something you enjoy today. Whether that be the time with your favorite book, tucking into a favorite meal or even spending some time with the people you love. You deserve it.

Having bad days is natural. If that day is today, then remember that it only gives more of an opportunity for tomorrow to be brighter. Try and be positive about it and push through. You and I know you can do this!

Productivity does not define your worth. You still matter, even on the days you feel worthless. Some days all you can do is to exist, and that's more than enough. Hang in there.

If nobody has told you that you matter today, then this is dropping onto your screen to say that you matter, you are important.

JUST TO LAUGH

Reading a letter at the breakfast table, a wife suddenly looks at her husband suspiciously.

“Henry,” she says, “I just received this letter from my mother saying she isn’t accepting our invitation to come and stay with us, as we don’t appear to want her. What does she mean? I told you to write and say that she was to come at her own convenience.

You did write to tell her this, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” says the husband. “But I couldn’t spell convenience, so I made it risk.”

A teacher giving a lesson on the circulation of blood says to her class, “Now, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”

“Yes,” the whole class agrees. “Then why is it,” she continues, “that while I am standing upright, the blood doesn’t run into my feet?” One little fellow shouts, “ ’Cause your feet ain’t empty!”
