Good afternoon y’all, it’s sunning outside all day here, I went out early but decided to do inside work today..
Welcome to Day 179 of 365, and I am continuing onward on this jouney…

A person I both love and respect and admire as well, told me she wasnt hearing my joy lately… I have been pondering that for a while now. I suppose my disenchantment and worry at the world lately has put me a bit off balance. But I never want to be remembered like that, that I lost me, the good parts of me. The dreamer, believer, the listener, and the carer. The world around me is full of wonder to me, I can sit for hours and watch it and feel amazement at the creativity and beauty God made.

I am not hopelessly lost, I may struggle and lose a step now and again, but God loves me, He has never let me down, man has, but thats not part of His promise. He promises to never leave me, that if I believe in Him, I will never be alone…

I’m not alone in my worry, I hear a lot of silence that speaks of the pain and hurt many feel, the tiredness of the chaos and ugliness. I’m sure its also a reflection of the shock of the reality we are seeing as well. BUT LIFE GOES ON… we go on, we have to. The people with empathy, with light in their soul, the people who believe that good wins, that evil can be overcome. WE GO ON…

So today, I am declaring that…
Today is the first day of the rest of my life… I’m going to find something to be awed by, to make me smile, to give me hope, and to help me let the light shine in. I will not let the chaos dim me, I will not lose my joy and heart ! Let’s rise Y’all 🙌
