I went in search of my humor.

I went in search my humor. I found her underneath a bushel of pain. I replaced pain with joy. Then, added ten bushels, of joy. On top of joy, I added a billion dollops,  of thanksgivings. To top things off, I added a lifetime of Jesus’s love.

Ah, God.

Nuff said. I love me some You. Jesus, thanks for being My Bestie. Be much with me and my fellow man/woman/them.

Note: Ah, beloveds, be well this day. Enjoy your day. Grab ahold to your humor. You’ll need it to wade through the hard work. Find reasons to crack yourself up.

NOTHING has  been funny the last few weeks. I keep telling myself that I am NOT alone. I remember that my steps are ordered. I am protected. I got this.  So do you.

Being a piece of watermelon cracks me up. Being a sista, I can’t tell you how many times, over the years, I have been referenced by chicken and watermelon. I don’t take offense. I say extra prayers for the folk who don’t care for someone who looks like me. I say this purposefully to make even angry folks smile. They need love the most.

Let’s endeavour to love one another. Be encouraged. 🤗❤🥰😁🙏

I’m so very thankful and grateful to be alive. Be encouraged and proud of how far you have come!

We got this. Enjoy every moment. Especially, the hardest ones. You build your crown 👑 during these times, among the hardest of days.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

You still can.

All those dreams you thought you  could no longer do.

You still can.

All the things you lost that you thought you could never get back.

You can still have.

All the things you thought were meant for everyone else.

You can still do.

All the things you thought would go to everyone else.

You can still get.

Beloveds, life is what we make it.  We can:

Be.

Have.

Do.

Get.

We are limited only by our:

Choices.

Actions.

Inaction.

Let me say this for everyone in the back row:

You still can.

Nuff Said!

Focus on what you CAN do.

Tonight has been 😭 sobering. For the past few days, I have been reconciling all the things I can no longer do.

Recently, I had to fill out a million page of synopsis detailing everything I can not do in order for Social Security to determine if I am eligible for assistance.

If so, I can plan and prepare to apply for supported living. This way, I can have my own apartment and still have 24 hours a day support staff. I want to be independent.

I wanted to take a shower. Alone. I can’t. I don’t know this made me want to cry. Usually, I am pretty philosophical. Here lately, I find fear wanting to rise up and snatch my joy. I dare not let it in. I have too much to do.

I choose to laugh. I choose to look forward to a future that I can STILL have.

Focus on the wonderful life just waiting for us to engage with.

Whatever your current lot, beloveds, remember that all is not lost, okay? Okay.

Be encouraged.
