Life is what WE make it. Let’s make it a good one in our corner of the world.

Note: Spread some love today. Spread some joy today. Spread some hope today. Be the awesome wonder that you are.
Beloveds, if you are reading these words, The Universe is calling you. What shall your answer be? Help me spread some love. Share this piece with at least one person, eh
I’m ready to move forward. I just don’t know which direction to face.
Do I go left? Do I turn right? Do I yield? Do I stop and wait?
Ack.
EVERYTHING in me wants to MOVE. My heart wants to go somewhere. She always has. I have been afraid of her. She is afraid of nothing. She is ready to do whatever it takes.
I don’t want to disappoint her. I want to make her proud.
I’m ready to move…FORWARD. I have no idea what’s up ahead. I’m ready to find out.
Are you? It’s time for us to move in 2025. Let’s go, beloveds. We got thangs to do.
How can you rest when working, working and working some more is all you have ever known?
Being one of 13, us older kids had to babysit and half raise those under us. There wasn’t much room for rest.
Then, having to work to help out the family left precious little time for resting or foolishness like daydreaming or fulfilling ridiculous flights of fancy.
My heart longs to give in to those flights of fancy. The adult in me admonishes me to get back to work. God is silent. Purposely so. Ack!!
What do I DO, beloveds, when everything in me needs the rest but I don’t know how to put the rest down?
My mind goes to shoulds and needtos. My heart says rest. My spirit says work it out as it is tired of being in the middle.
The silence holds wonders if I am courageous enough to be still. If I can be silent. If I can rest.
I find myself restless. What do I DO? The answer appears to be do nothing. Geeeez.
Learning how to do nothing when you’re used to doing so much something is really something!
I must say I really will be glad when this period ends. I’m doing my best to hang on as best as I can. I don’t feel like hanging on today. Yet I will. I have to. So do you.
I have been doing a bit of organizing. I think I will give myself permission to watch some old movies and munch on popcorn. Who wants to join me?
In the mean time, while waiting for a life to change, get some rest.

Note: What have you been longing to do? Start doing some of those things.
I have been watching football for more than 30 years.
I have been astonished to witness several players quit on their team. During the game. After a loss. After the ball was not thrown to them enough.
How sad. Folk have forgotten what teamwork means. Society has forgotten what integrity and supporting one another means.
Folk have been supposedly ” quiet quitting” their jobs. This apparently means folk are giving little to no effort.
Phooey on that! If you don’t care for things going on with your job, TALK to someone. Work it out. If you can’t, find another and give your all.
If you don’t get the ball thrown your way, so what?! Block. Run the route. Your route running STILL affects the outcome of the play!
Don’t pick up your toys and run if you were not chosen to lead the way. Enjoy the camaraderie of the team. Make memories.
In 2025, let’s all choose to get in there and be a light.
Okay, mini rant over…lol.
I have wanted to quit many a day. Life just seemed too damnedably hard. I learned how to push through the hard. I leaned into the hard. I strengthened faith muscles fighting against the hard.
There’s more to this life than we know. Don’t quit. Hang in there a little while longer.
Have you ever considered the reason you have been placed on the sideline, was to help someone standing there? Perhaps it was meant to give you the rest you would never give yourself.
Rest. Then, get about being about it. There just ain’t no quit in us!
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
