I’ll be the first to admit it: today I feel BLAH. Not that chintzy kind that seems to pass after I’ve sipped on a favorite drink or nibbled on a favorite treat. No, this BLAH is like the Big, Bad Wolf who comes to huff, puff and blow my house of esteem clear across the Atlantic. This BLAH means business.

 But there’s one thing it didn’t count it on: my house of esteem has a firm foundation; one that’s huff and puff proof. My house is not built on the whims of how I feel at any given moment nor is it established on my thoughts of the day. My house is built on a truth that cannot be destroyed: I am majestically and wonderfully made. I am beautiful and strong; and regardless of what comes my way THIS truth will never change.

 So, I say to you today: it’s okay to feel BLAH, so long as you hold fast to and always remember the foundation that gives your house of esteem its sparkle and strength. Besides, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my short time on earth, it’s this: if you wait long enough, things will pass.
