Daily Prompt – Frazzle

Life can frazzle you out. At the end of the day or the end of a week you feel like you are worn out and need a break from it all. Finding rest and renewal comes in many forms. It’s good to recognize you are frazzled before it’s too late. Having time for self care is important in this frenetic world we live in.

Anthony Bourdain

Chef, author, television presenter, world traveler and more importantly human. Anthony Bourdain did a lot to bring us closer together and to feed our soul. He left his world on June 8th but he didn’t have to, there was more stories and more food to be shared. Rest in Power Chef.

 

Quote Of The Day

You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together. Anthony Bourdain

Help In The Tough Times

Life is hard, its tough, its sometimes unforgiving. However life gives us people to help us along the way when you face hard, tough, unforgiving times. There is no shame in admitting you need professional assistance when you feel overwhelmed. Getting that help can save your life. Most of what we face in this world is situational and temporary. If we give life a chance we can make it. Winston Churchill once said “if you are going through hell, keep on going”. There is a way forward that does not involve ending your life or harming yourself.

I am not an expert but if anyone needs someone to talk to I am available. I am no expert but I do care. Locally there are resources available that can make a difference and help you get better. Have hope in a brighter tomorrow as you go through a dark present.

Love, grace and peace to you all.

It’s Thursday and the week is nearing an end. Seems time is moving quickly at least from my perspective I hope from yours too.

How are you doing today. Checking in on friends is something good to do. I hope you are all doing well. If not so much then hold on this too shall pass.

Grace and peace and love to you all.
