Trying Times

Another blessed day and I am thankful. This morning I was up before dawn. My first words of each day begin as a prayer from a thankful heart.

On this morning, I just sat up in bed for a while. I watched the sky light up. I listened as the birds shared their good news. Then just as I closed my eyes in the silence, I could hear the sound of motors passing. Those heading to the office. Others are heading to the base…the hospitals…clocking in & clocking out as life goes on.

As my mind begins to race…I can see myself going for a jog this lovely morning and then I conclude that I’d rather not leave the house yet. I’ll spend some time on my Schwinn. A little music in my ear and all is well. I resist the urge to ask Mr to make a donut run. Some quiet time in Vetta’s Garden and then a nice ride by some water.

I called my brother and chatted for a while today. It’s always good to hear his voice and thoughts on life. Good conversation is a gift.

I’ve recently been working on tuning people out…sometimes it’s the safest thing to do.

As for those I feel the need to listen to, I’ve also been very intentional on tuning in and listening to the words they offer me. It has been incredibly insightful and inspiring.

How do I decide who to tune out?

Most aren’t talking about much to begin with so that’s that…it’s easy to tune out nonsense. Those that i find myself engaged with…It’s simple, if my spirit is disturbed I will excuse myself and exit the conversation…the relationship if need be!

Today is pedicure day!!! I’m thinking turquoise for the toes. I’m walking boldly through life and my feet have always been a priority, so I’m sure to take good care of them as they take good care of me.

I captured this beauty while my crush and I were out and about. A single bloom…that’s all it sometimes entails. Just know that there will always be thornes…in Life that is!
