Mine has been taking quite a beating these last days. It’s a little bit tired. It’s a lot of bit set up with having to keep on keeping on. Still, I keep on keeping on.
Are you being good to you? Make sure that you are.
The week had been so discouraging inadvertently. I stopped turning on my uplifting videos and music. Consequently, I started seeing the darkness instead of the sunshine, waiting just for me.
As soon as I realized this, I turned on my music. I did a chair dance or to.
I kept my promises to myself. I caught up on all my pieces. I had a cup of coffee. I cut myself some slack. I dried my tears. I laughed.
I think I will pop me some popcorn and watch a ridiculous action movie.
Have an amazing rest of your day. Remember that you are loved and that you are not alone. Reach out for love and support as needed.
I told God I am not waiting around anymore. I’m doing what He has asked. It’s not MY fault He has given me some reeeeaallly dumb sounding things to do/say.
Here goes nuttin, world. Here I come. Don’t blame ME, though. 😎🤣🌍🎯

Note: This IS your time, beloveds. What the world you STILL waiting for?!! Go on, now. Scoot. Skeedaddle. Let’s go!!
My want to did not want to. Which is precisely why I did.
Periodt.
End of story.
So what.
Now that we have got excuse out of the way, beloveds, how about we make it happen?😎🛎⏳

Note: Let’s go!! Good habits got to work tonight. I didn’t feel like it. I put on myself wandering over to my computer and getting to work. We have been avoiding each other this week. It has been terribly frustrating not seeing more from my efforts.
My give up has given up about three or four times. I find there’s too much in me to quit for long. I keep reminding myself that change takes time. I tell myself the best is yet to come. I tell myself to keep trying. Everyday.
I have to take out the trash tomorrow. I don’t want to. Which is precisely what I’m going to.
The world can be our oyster, beloveds. That is, of we work for and towards the things we want/seek/need.
Life does not owe us a thing. The 🌎 world has no interest in serving your needs. Truth be told, beloveds, we are not the center of the universe.
We are one of many. Unique. One of one.
Our world of what we make it. We can serve ourselves anything we want. We are the ones who have to put forth the effort. Life doesn’t owe us anything. Our families don’t owe us. our friends don’t owe us. We don’t own them.
Folks give and do what they can because they choose to. We are give each other enough room to determine whether to be helpful or not. I’m doing my best to give folk permission to be there for me or not. All I can do is ask for support and wait patiently for whatever comes. Or not.
I have secretly been having quite the pity party. Upon realizing this, I made myself get out of bed. Life doesn’t owe me a thing. I owe life every bit of effort and tries that I have within me.
I stopped blaming the old me for not being able to get the new me over the finish line. Her time is passed. It is up to me now. No matter what happened in the past, all I have now is a present to make something of my future. All I have is today. Now. These moments.
I’m trying to let myself off the hook. I keep having to forgive myself for all I have not done over the years. I keep telling myself to be patient with me.
Be patient with you. Forgive yourself if you need to. Start again as many times as you have to.

Note: We got this. Have an amazing today. You deserve it.
Your habits work for you. To your service or your detriment.
I woke from a delish nap. Automatically, I headed to the bathroom. After the bathroom, I found myself sitting, grabbing my phone, began editing, creating, and finishing pieces.
I wasn’t thinking. My good habits got about getting after it. Without needing cajoling or bribery. Good habits had thangs to do. I woke from my slumber and became an active participant. My goal had been another nap. Good habits said, ha!
I’m so glad my good habits have gotten so good that they paid no mind when I go into a mini pity party. I am thankful my good habits are used to making myself eat, getting old with my dad, whether I want to or not, and try. and trying to see the best out of life.
I have been pleasantly surprised to find myself reaching for the sunshine when darkness comes to visit. I have not been comfort eating or hiding under the covers. I have been facing my fears. I have been confronting the past. I have been making peace with it.
I’m doing my utmost to own my present and future.
The more darkness I see around me, the more I shine my light. I no longer allow myself to give in to the rage baiting that is going on right now. I choose to live. I choose to love. I choose to remain hopeful and joyful.
Keep doing what you know. Everyday. Good habits will continue to show love for you.
Note: It sure has been mighty hard doing my why, beloveds. Why? Storms won’t stop. Bills won’t stop. Discouragement and disappointment absolutely refuses to stop bugging me. Therefore, I don’t stop. I can’t. I won’t. Crapola.
During especially tough moments, beloveds, it is CRUCIAL to understand these are nothing but tests. Simple as that. Yea, thse bad boys are loud. Yes, the storms are mighty impressive sounding and looking.
Still, these too SHALL pass. The ONLY important thing is how we determine to be/live/move AFTER all the hoopla has gone by.
I choose to be:
Victorious.
Joyful.
Hopeful.
Resilient.
Loving.
Caring.
Empathetic.
I choose to be/remain these things DURING the storms/trials. How about you?
My why is encouraging folk and reminding them they are loved and not alone. What’s your why? Let me know in the comments.🥰🙏💋
The following may or may not be true, depending on who you ask and who is telling the truth…
I needed to clean my 👓 glasses.
I reached for said 👓 glasses, in near darkness, having just woken from a tasty nap. Alaa, beloveds, you already KNOW where this is heading…*sigh*.
I cleaned said 👓 glasses. Said 👓 glasses felt odd/weird.
I looked in my hand. Said 👓 glasses turned out to be the 👓 case!😆
Opps…lol.
I just stopped by to remind you to laugh at your mistakes. You will make millions of them.
Remember, beloveds, you are NOT your mistakes. Get used to making them, correcting them, learning from them, trying not to repeat them, moving past them.
Be encouraged.

Note: In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
