Not just Words…

There are way too many words and thoughts going through my head. I started working on my book, but then I started thinking about the game I need to play in order to get points to get an amazon gift card. 

I did my math and without a coffee pot I have to have at least one 16 oz cup of ice coffee and I am only able to get maybe four cups out of one bottle. I need a coffee pot. I am just hoping it will be extra hot.

I am still looking for another job, but I am really wanting a homebase job. I need to try and get some kind of computer training.

I am NOT going to give up, because I am so over working where I am at with no chance for a better future and I am not going to get any younger. I NEED to start aiming for a better tomorrow while I can.

They say it’s never too late to start something new. I say, “If you don’t start, then you will never set your dream free, and I want to know I at least tried. I am not just writing down what I want, but how I am going to do it.

I want to encourage as many people as I can to write down their dreams and then write how to set those dreams free. “Dreams do come true, if you put in the work, ” that sounds like it came from a movie?

Someone once told me my idea was just a vision board, but in a book form. Another person said that’s just writing in a dairy.  I don’t care what you call your special book, I say if you can write down your dream and figure out how they become more than dreams. You can name your book anything you like, just don’t keep your dreams on paper, and be ready to set them free,

Not Going Backwards..

I found myself falling back into my slow steps, steps that will not help me keep my word, and that isn’t good. I came home with the thought I would work on my book after my coffee, but my favorite online game (Township) was opened before I remembered I was supposed to start working on a post. 

I am trying to recall the anime or cartoon show I saw on HBO where the daughter asked her father what the word, “procrastine” meant, and he was trying to explain what her mother had said about him. Then the little girl said she thought it meant being lazy.

{}https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/procrastinate

Procrastinate : to keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring:

In my case I enjoy creating new stories from something I saw or finding an answer to a question or two. I am not going to lose who I am and the person I want to be. What’s the point of dreaming if it stays a dream? 

I am watching one of my favorite anime, My Neighbor Totoro and I am smiling. I am also thinking about my next trip to Charlotte Yarn. https://charlotteyarn.com/ where you can not only buy yarn, but they have classes, and where we come together to crochet or knit. I have an hour left, and I need to work on my book, and eat an early dinner.

Calm After the Anger….

Leave a comment
Photo by Pau Sabatu00e9 on Pexels.com

I am starting my prayer journal to be more calm and staying calm; like when your space is turning upside down. When you are calm, your mind is clear, and your heart rate has no signs of being stressed. You can accomplish almost anything if you have a calm mind.

I took out a small book, and before I could  write down one thought, that page was almost already full. Then I saw a bigger writing book across the room, but then I changed my mind.

I not only want to think out my thoughts, but get as much information about that thought as I can. Once again I find myself with questions I need answers too and realize I need to type out my thoughts and get the answers I want from my questions. What does Google say about the word calm: Calm describes a state of being free from disturbance.

CALM Definition & Meaning – Merriam-Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/calm

Calm noun a period or condition of freedom from storms, high winds, or rough activity of water

Those are a few ideas from the Internet about the meaning of being calm. Now it’s time to go to the Word and learn what calm means.

https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.5.8.NKJV   I Peter 5:8 NKJV Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
https://bible.com/bible/8/1pe.5.8.AMPC      1 Peter 5:8 AMPC  Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
https://bible.com/bible/8/1th.5.6.AMPC      1 Thessalonians 5:6 AMPC  Accordingly then, let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us keep wide awake (alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard) and let us be sober (calm, collected, and circumspect).
https://bible.com/bible/8/pro.17.27.AMPC   Proverbs 17:27 AMPC   He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding has a cool spirit. [James 1:19.]

**side note: In the middle of working on this post, I got a wave of anger, and that feeling had me biting my fingers so I wouldn’t do something I was going to regret. Once I was able to calm down, I was ready to come back to my first thought, but I decided to type out my real feelings. 

I went straight to Word and read through more than scriptures then I am posting, but these got read more than once. This next part was how I was able to calm down.

~Holding back tears of anger isn’t fun and the pain that is filling my head and tightening my throat is coming from my own anger. I am not liking this feeling, but it’s here.

https://bible.com/bible/8/jas.1.20.AMPC James 1:20  For man’s anger does not promote the righteousness God [wishes and requires].
https://bible.com/bible/8/eph.4.32.AMPC Ephesians 4:32  And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.
https://bible.com/bible/8/psa.37.8.AMPC Psalm 37:8    Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself–it tends only to evildoing.
https://bible.com/bible/8/pro.14.29.AMPC Proverbs 14:29  He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is hasty of spirit exposes and exalts his folly. [Prov. 16:32; James 1:19.]

https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.4.31-32.NKJV  Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. [32] And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

I am thinking about how I haven’t worked on my book or even thought about it in weeks. It is time I get to work, because I am keeping my word. I am calm and thinking positive.

No Sleep IV Me…

I awoke before the sun and thought “not again,” because I didn’t have to go to work. I tried laying back down, but then my tummy started yelling. I went to sleep full, I am not fully awake, so why am I waking up hungry? 

(Ugh) I had to get up, because I kept on thinking about food. If I turn the lights on, I will fully wake up, and I thought I would eat a banna. That thought made me make a sour face, because I really don’t like bananas. 

Then I remembered the snack bag my nephew left behind and grabbed a fruit cup. I don’t like pears either, but I ate it anyway. I was going back to sleep. I should have turned on a thunderstorm, no I just listened to one story after another on youtube, and just when I was closer to sleep. I heard a voice I recognized and my eyes opened.

I just wanted to go back to sleep. My body was tired, tired of getting up at 3 am, standing on my feet for hours, and all I wanted to do was get up when the sun was actually out. Sleep just wouldn’t return, because my mind is starting to wonder.  I guess it’s time to relax with a cup of coffee.

What Plans?

Leave a comment

I had started crossing off a list of things I had wanted to do after I got home from work. I knew what I needed to do and the reasons behind each move, and all was good until –

  1. My eyes don’t want to stay focused.

I am amazed that I am moving, because I haven’t eaten anything (other than a banana and a few animal crackers) in over ten hours. I know I should eat, but I want to go to sleep.

I also want to work on my book. I know I am going to put that on hold, because I need to be at my best, for my best work, and tired eyes just won’t do.

I wonder how many plans have gone astray because your body doesn’t want to do what you want it to. It’s cool, I say, “listen to your body and complete your plan another day.”
