Up Before the Sun

I knew today was going to be different, because I stepped out of my normal. I got up two hours before I had planned on getting up. I would normally lay there trying to go back to sleep. That never really works, my mind starts thinking of things to do, and the thoughts get louder the more you try to push them aside.

I really didn’t want to move from the warmth of my bed. “Ugh I am awake.” Oh well what’s done is done. Lights out as I reached for the remote control and soon gospel with in the air and I was on the move. I still didn’t want to turn the lights on, so with a candle, and a little lights coming from the open patio blinds it was enough light for me  to walk around my apartment.

Some may think I am not doing it right, because I am not walking outside or on a machine. This is where they are wrong. I have been walking around my apartment a d doing a low impact workout out and my back is slowly getting back to where there isn’t any pain. Although I do want to walk around my new neighborhood, but the reality of me being in so much pain I couldn’t move. No thank you. I just smile and keep on being me. I must be doing something right, otherwise they wouldn’t be trying to bring me down.

I will not stay in a box like everyone else. I will be moving forward and when I get so far in front of them, maybe they will want to catch up to me.

The sun is out and I will be working on my book as I enjoy sitting on the patio before the bugs start to come out. I can’t wait to get my 1st cup of coffee…

~ Doing things your way is sometimes the best way. I have no fear, because God is on my side. I wonder why it took me over 40 years to realize that not everyone is on my side. It doesn’t matter is they are your blood or someone whom you call a friend. Then again the title family and friend can be dropped down to an associate. They may know your name, but they don’t know you.

~ I am trying to move forward, but I keep going back to “no fear,” and trying to remember where I read it (without going online to find it).  Okay, I went to the back of my (NIV New International Version) Bible to the concordance, but I knew I read it. The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?

 

The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 NIV

https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.27.1.NIV

 

I got up with a plan and I am following through to keeping my word. This time it’s to myself (to be a better me) and I’m not letting other voices in my thoughts. Yesterday as I was playing a game online, an app popped up, and I surprised myself by reading it. I really do not like drinking water, but I know its good for me. Anyway, this app sends a reminder to drink 10oz of water throughout the day. I actually drank half a bottle of water (16oz) with meds and no I normally just drank enough to get the pill down.

 

That was the old me. I have already walked 30mins and drank 20 ounces of water before 7:30am. I was told where I should walk, when I should go out, how much water I drank, and even what I should or shouldn’t be eating. I just stopped talking and tune them out, because I am free to be me.

 

I am walking within the comforts of my apartment, because I know my health better than anyone. A person with a bad back (a temporary set back, because by Jesus’s blood I know I am healed) one has to put in the work to improve themselves and I Will be safe doing it. 

 

One can improve themselves in so many ways, but first they have to have a dream and the strength to follow through. One has to understand some may say they want you to move forward, and although you are hearing the right words, but if you listen closely they’re words have no truth in them.

 

I am going to move forward and no one will stop me from my goal. I have told young adults to find a dream and work hard to set it free, because in order for you to move forward you cannot stay where you are at and no one is going to do it for you. Have faith in yourself as He has given you all you need to be a better you..

I am in the middle of a Pinterest day. I am clicking, saving, and posting on my Facebook page. Then I remembered a few of my friends are not on Facebook or Pinterest am still surprised at that one. Then the few friends that are on my page have said they are surprised I don’t have a lot of friends. I remind them I only have family (not all) and friends ( not everyone who knows my name are my friends, so why should they be in my space).

 

I may send a picture or two on their phone, but today I thought I do something different. I will write a story surrounding new clicks and go from there. I use to do this in school many years ago. I took my spelling list and turned them into stories fun instead of boring sentences. Who know I would be reliving a happy times from my past….

The thought of coming up with a story talking about flowers isn’t really happening. I am thinking about my two favorite colors and going to spend my time looking for “yellow and pink,” and enjoy my free time..

Pinterest is a cool place to get ideas for a party or just to pass the time. One never know what they are going to find….

Somethings are funny somethings are useful in a fun way.. This is a cute bedroom https://pin.it/2mwvzvgjozd5x3 and here is where you can get that look for your room or someone who likes “yellow & pink” and yes they go together.   https://pin.it/5zcp4j76mbrwex

Pinterest is an endless day of fun. At least it is for me and I know I am Not alone.

I could keep this up all day, but I’ll end it with Snoopy and get on with another project. I still have to finish my cross stitch gift. I think I’ll go out on the patio and enjoy the sun as I work. My Pinterest board “Yellow Rose” isn’t going anywhere, but since my board is like my “blog” a little bit of everything – I may change its title? Something to think about…

The End!!!

 

Making a List…

20190906_113458-COLLAGE

 

 

Having a plan in one’s head is a start and making a list of things to do.

Following through on that plan is a totally different story.

Do you remember the plan and actually do the things on that imaginary list?

Have you forgotten that list altogether or your mind has temporarily gone blink. Meaning, you know you have to do something, “what is it” is the question you keep asking yourself?

Taking a deep breath and start going over what you normally do every day.

If that doesn’t work?

Relax with your favorite hot beverage.

Coffee with flavored creamer for me.

(Laughing)  I am or was laughing was, because as I was preparing for my coffee. I went towards my coffee stand and notice a cute cup I never drank out of.

Someone once asked me, “I bet you have a lot of cups?” I told them “no,” but it’s nice to have more than one. Who knows when you are going to have a friend or two come over.

I am ready for coffee as well as tea.

I have always wanted a coffee bar. 

This is as close as I can get 

a coffee bar.

I remembered what was planned 

the night before and only done one thing.

Well, my eyes are open, and after I enjoy watching “The Real”. 

 

  • Getting into the Word (Bible)
  • Going online to find my real job
  • Work on my blanket (crocheting)
  • Work on my cross stitch gift
  • If I can get inspired I will work on my book.

 

As I continue to type this thought, I realized I am keeping my word by working on my blog, and posting at least twice a week. (Smile) 😃

Keeping One’s Word

20190903_100108

 

Waking up with the taste of tomatoes is a little different from the bacon and eggs (If one eats pork, which I no longer eat).

What to make a quick omelette with cheese and tomatoes and some toast on the side. 

Then you might as well as fic some grits.

That all sounded like a good idea until I walked into the kitchen.

A change of plans,after I opened the patio blinds, followed by the door, and it isn’t too hot today. 

Today would be a great day to enjoy 

my coffee and a book.

If I eat a big breakfast 

I would just want to go to sleep.

Boiled some water for a little pasta

and lunch became breakfast.

I didn’t remember to take a picture until all of the food was gone.

Okay, I can get my coffee ready. 

Nope, because I remembered the bugs.

I did put on some bug spray as I am working on this story on the patio and plan on getting into the Word next.

I am smiling, because I am keeping my word to myself:

 

  1. Studying the Word more my way. Which is to write everything down and ask questions when needed.
  2. Enjoying time on the patio.
  3. Drinking more water and  exercising.
  4. Staying positive.
  5. Believing in myself.
