Just paddling along. I have to say the last couple of weeks have been a doozie. I have felt so many emotions. During the past couple of months I made sure to find joy in all circumstances. But sometimes emotions have had a tendency to get the best of me. How about you? I feel like I managed pretty well. Until I broke down. I don’t like to admit that. I did. I allowed the worldly things to affect me, mentally, physically and emotionally. I did not allow these things to stay around long. I was able to see what was causing these wave of emotions, pray and let go. I’m learning the things that cause me to break I can step away from and take the time to focus on the good. This is called growth. Finally.
Here is what I’ve realized. I’m a doer. The more I do. The better I feel. Doing for my family. Doing for others. Doing for me. I know what I was called to do and it’s to do. Spreading joy no matter how I am feeling. Put on a brave smile and be there for others. I have spent a lot of time paddling. Thinking. Its amazing when you are out on the water, the only way to get to where you want to go is by doing (paddling). And the only way to get back home is by doing (paddling). I have to do the work. To get to where I want to be and to get back home. If I want it bad enough I have to do it. Period. It’s the same with my emotions, my health, and my journey. Paddling has taught me that I have to keep doing the work. Can’t stop. Can’t quit. Can’t give up. Can’t look back.
I will continue to say it. This story of mine is far from perfect and I have learned to embrace the ups and downs. I’m slowly learning. One day at a time. To grasp what I have continued to learn and share my experience, strength, weaknesses, and hope. The good, bad and the ugly. How about you? Are you ready? To grow? Learn? Find joy in all circumstances? Love yourself through the process.? Realize that your story is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL just like YOU? Let’s do this TOGETHER!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my story. My journey. Blessed is an understatement.
LOVE YOU SO STINKIN MUCH!
