There is a college football game happening in my hometown at the time I am writing this and I am not there (duh because I am writing this post). A couple years ago I would be all over it, going down to support the home team. Today home is the place I wanna be most. In full disclosure I do have some depression issues going on so that has something to do with it. Perhaps its fatigue too because I expend myself during the week. This morning I did go out for breakfast and to Walmart with family and when I got home I took a nap. No doubt I have changed and perhaps what gives me joy has changed. At home I am blogging and watching coverage of Hurricane Nate instead of a football game on TV. Maybe I am not like me because I am not like me two years ago. It’s strange how we change and the things that give us pleasure change too. Strange indeed.

Something About Being Yourself
Be you is a easy thing to say but hard thing to do. Unfortunately there are expectations that others have of all of us in order to fit in. Life is tough enough without having to play a role that doesn’t seem genuine or authentic. It’s kind of nice to be in a space and place where you can just be who you want to be without anyone demanding you play the part you don’t want to.
Hey Kids It’s Friday!

Daily Prompt: Fashionable
Being fashionable is more than clothing and jewelry and makeup and shoes. It’s about ones inside appearance that impacts how people view them. Fashionable means how you present what you do to the world. The clothing of your heart, the perfume of your soul, the shoes of your walk in the world. I see a lot of fashion plates who look amazing on the outside but they are just as lovely on the inside where I think it matters most.
Change In Care
Changing how you are cared for medically is an important decision. Today was one of those days where a change was made in my primary care provider. Making a change after many years was not difficult. When you need a change in anything don’t be afraid to make it especially when it comes to your health care provider. Sometimes you need fresh eyes and a fresh approach from someone who can see things differently. Be sure they will have your back and other parts of you for the long haul. This is no slight against the previous care provider just needed a change.
