Quote Of The Day

“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”

Pope John XXIII

Hello Monday, You Got This!

bf75501fc1ca8a2ada402aa8a61f7993_-monday-murdered-sunday-work-on-monday-memes_361-450It might be Monday but I am taking a much deserved 3-day weekend. Some would call it a mental-health day and I would be inclined to agree with that. Being dedicated to ones work means not missing much for anything except for being sick and personal emergencies I am there every day. So far today I have made breakfast, taken a morning nap, downed 2 cups of coffee not including a bottled iced coffee I had with breakfast and a few other things. Today is about me and doing what I want to do which includes blogging.

I hope you all are making the best of the day. Hang in there. You got this!

A Very Good Reminder!

Happy Mother’s Day 2017! #mothersday

To mothers in the United States and around the world you have my respect and admiration. This is a time to recognize those who play the role of mother in various forms. Mothers are biological, adoptive, spiritual, surrogate and so much more. For some, this is a difficult time because of the nature of their relationships with their own mothers so I hope they have found someone to fill in. Grace and peace and love to you all.

Settling On Something

It’s hard to settle on something when you wanna experiment with everything. There are all sorts of cool things that are worth trying out and it makes it hard to decide on one thing you like above all else. Clothes, shoes, electronics, makeup, food and so much more are all things that make one curious and adventurous. There does come a time when you need to settle down and stick with something. It is worth it to see what is out there but you can’t do that for very long because the number of your days is growing shorter by the minute.
