You know those days when you just have to steel yourself to get up and when you have that conversation with yourself in the mirror (I just presume that everyone talks to themselves in the mirror like me) you say to self:
Carol: Okay, today is another day and you can find the energy to zoom through this day.
Other Carol: Yeah, right... and you are going to keep this up for the next 15 years??
Carol: Of course, it is all about finding the inspiration for today and the appreciation of what is working in your life.
Other Carol: (sneering slightly) Suzy Sunshine this morning aren't you? Did you notice that it is completely overcast and dark this morning and it is August?!
Carol: Certainly, but that is why the Universe emails me every morning and I check in on other blogs when I start my day.
Other Carol: Good luck with that...
Well, fortunately, several of my bloggy friends posted this today and altered my morning:
As I watched this and goosebumps raised on my arms (no, Other Carol, it was not just cold in here), I realized that I was extremely thankful for Joni Mitchell, through all the stages and phases of my life, she has been there. Car on a Hill was my theme song for a while...
And this morning she reminded me that:
We are stardust * Billion year old carbon * We are golden * Caught in the devils bargain * And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
See you there... xo

Yes.
Since writing my post with Joni, I've been reflecting a bit like your two Carols.
One Ruth: I am so bored with myself this day.
Other Ruth: You are so lucky to have the choices you have every day.
I need inspiration too, and Joni has been my muse for writing for a long time. I love her honesty, and transparency (as my friend pointed out).
