La La Land Mommy: I Am A Blessing
“Katherine, You are a blessing.” That’s what someone said to do me the other day. I don’t know why but when people tell me this I have the hardest time believing it. I just don’t see anything that I do as a blessing. I just see me as being me. I told a friend that I have a hard time believing this and she told me ways that I blessed her. When she told me that I was even more shocked that the little things I do can be seen as a blessing. Something as little as giving an email address or telling someone they are pretty or even saying hello is seen as a blessing. I just saw it as just being nice. But I have always had a hard time seeing my own self as a blessing. It always makes me wonder why I have a hard time with things like this. I really need to work on being more positive and know that I can do more than I think I can. I know I am not the only one. I guess when you just move through your day you don’t really give yourself time to think about how the things you do affect others whether it is good or bad. The bad is easy to see cause you can immediately see that but when you are doing good and aren’t looking for anything in return you tend to not notice. I think for me it is hard because I don’t think I have the power to do much for others like other people do. I just do whatever I can whenever I can do it. I just find it so hard to believe that I am blessing anyone. Maybe because I don’t think that I am much of a blessing to myself.
I am writing this to say that we are all a blessing to someone. You could be a blessing to the person that you just say hi to, the person you give a listening ear to, or just help someone pick up something that they dropped. You have to see the blessing that you are to yourself first. I am working on seeing how I am good to myself. This just tells me that I need to pay attention to myself a little bit more.
