Positivity is a MUST

June 10, 2024 @ 11:46am

Life has been busy and I have decided to do a DAILY blog, during the rest of June until the 3rd week in August, my daughter’s summer break with Mom & Daddy. It will help me be more accountable to my daily writing goal. I have had a couple graduations, a birthday party, a wedding, and more to come, during this wonderful summer. The theme I have created for this summer, and hopefully the rest of my life, is: “Joy Cometh EVERY morning, so worry be gone.” I think I am over the state of worry that I sometimes find myself in. I will focus ONLY on the good that exist in my life, and the stuff that isn’t “good”, well I’ll take steps to getting it better and know nothing REALLY good happens over night, or in a few days. I am riding on the natural high of celebration and love. As I am moving along this journey, I am realizing that I need to focus DAILY on writing so that I can reach the goals I have had for my life. I looked around at a family wedding we were at, and I realized how precious life, love and family is. The beauty of my people, my family, my dear friends was something that is hard to capture in words. But I’ll spend my life telling the beautiful stories that surround me. I will paint pictures with my words that will make people smile, think, dream, and maybe even cry. It's crazy that sometimes I read my words aloud and it becomes an out-of-body experience. They seem like the words are coming from me but are not just FROM me. The words come from ALL the women, and men, who have inspired, encouraged, loved, supported, mentored, guided, praised, and MADE ME THINK. There have been those whose impact can be seen as or felt to be as negative. But my stories come from positive places, even those places that were hard, initially. And today, after a really good Mental Health therapy session, I feel like I am at a place where I have to be on purpose about seeking out the positive stories within me and around me.
