It’s so easy to look at what’s still undone.
What didn’t get finished.
Where you thought you’d be by now.
But this week — before rushing into what’s next —
pause and look around at what is.
What you’ve made it through.
What you’ve learned.
What you’ve built, even in small, quiet ways.
Because momentum doesn’t just come from hustle.
It comes from acknowledging your own strength.
When you focus on what you have — not just materially, but internally —
you remind yourself of what you’re capable of.
And that reminder?
That’s fuel.
That’s forward energy.
So let this weekend be your check-in.
Not just to rest.
But to reflect on how far you've already come.
There is so much more ahead — but you’re not starting from scratch.
You're moving forward with everything you’ve already earned, learned, and become.
Shabbat Shalom 💫
Here’s to starting the next step from a place of real power.
It is probably too early to have a cocktail... but it is a Saturday! 😀
I have almost all the ingredients except grapefruit. However I have a unopened carton of cranberry juice near its expiry date. So, it will do.
Sunset Vibes
1.5 vodka
1.5 pink grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed)
1 Aperol
1.5 tonic water
1/4 mezcal
There is a hint of smokiness from the mezcal. Very delicious.
When Daily Prompts question about what I enjoy doing in my leisure time came up I combined it with National Compliment Day, and I now give you your responses.
