Try This For Breakfast – Love Your Self

JUST FOR TODAY:  Love your Self.  Love your whole Self.  Love all aspects of your Self.  When you look in the mirror, love the Self you are, right now, today.

In The Mirror

When I look in the mirror, 

What do I see? 

Is it my own reflection

Looking back at me?

Do I see someone 

I wish I was not?

Do I focus on things

I haven't got?

Or can I feel complete

And give a smile or two?

Can I look at my Self

And say "I Love You"?

For it is with this Self

I must face the day;

And I know Self-acceptance

Is the only way.

I can't live for tomorrow

I've got to live now.

I intend to use my life

As best I know how.

So when I look in the mirror

What do I see?

I see a vision of my Self, being

All that I can be.
