Like the moon, I am perfect in every phase

As I sat on my couch a couple weeks ago

during a migraine attack, 

feeling guilty and like a failure

because I wasn’t being productive like I had planned, 

2 questions from my psychologist came to mind -

Is this true? Is this helpful? 

Am I a failure if I don’t accomplish the things on my to-do list? 

Is believing that I am a failure helping me right now? 

Then, the moon came to mind. 

Some days I have more light to reflect; other days I have less. 

No phase is better than the other. 

All phases are temporary and I am grateful for every one.

“Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” - William Shakespeare

Much love to you,
