I heard this inspirational video the other day.

"If you wanna change the world, start off by making your bed.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day.
It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another.
By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.
Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter.
If you can't do the little things right you'll never be able to do the big things right.
If by chance you have a miserable day you will come home to a bed that is made.
That you made. And a bed made will give you encouragement that tomorrow will be better."

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!

This is so true! I learned a long time ago, when I got very depressed because of the pain and deformities of Rheumatoid Arthritis, that the best thing to do, is not be overwhelmed by everything, but just start with one small task. Then, you start to feel better about yourself, so you pick just one more thing to do.

The next thing you know, the house is clean, the gardening is done, you've exercised and been to a Bible study, etc, etc. Of course, make sure getting out and interacting with other people is part of those tasks.

Thanks for posting!
