I’m fine, just fine, everything is fine…

Well, I woke up early, 6:29 to be exact Alexa said when I asked from the darkness… today is one of the days of the week I people… working 3 days a week keeps me social and from becoming the ole’ swamp witch I could be. Usually, I go in at 2 but today  I have an 11 o’clock curtain call at work. I intended my morning to be one of rising early, watching sunrise my protein mushroom coffee concoction in hand, and then setting out for a walk about the acres. But, as I often say, We make plans, God laughs…

But the words of my God whisperer friend this morning are now teasing my heart and soul… she has a deep relationship with the words of Maya Angelou, which I savor as well. She was so inspired by her that she wrote a book, “Dear Maya Angelou, Letters to My Muse” which I keep next to my bed, to pull from at times.

How am I feeling right now, not a question most people really want to hear the answer to if asked… as Maya said though, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Today is my day to be this, to be that, the person who makes your day a bit brighter, to speak words of kindness, give smiles, and use my southern charm and God power to speak a bit of joy and even hope into those I serve.

So, how am I feeling right now? Dare I say, a bit hopeful that my day will be filled with things that end in smiles, that the time will feel short, that laughter and gratitude are abundant. But I do feel the underlying current of chaos and heaviness that seems to be creeping into the world… but as Maya says, Still I rise…  so, I’m feeling the need to rise to the day ahead,  rain and all. While I’ve seen no sunrise yet, the gray skies are not drippy right now,  so maybe that walk about is possible…

However you feel right now, I hope you find your peace today and feel His strength… go make someone feel good today, the day is before you, make it what you can…
