Going to Smile Anyway…

I decided it didn’t matter how I was feeling, when asked I will always say, “I am good,” because I know words are powerful and I am blessed.

Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” NIV (New International Version Bible)

As I go over today invents, I am smiling, because I know what I have to do – to hold onto this Smile….

Will Keep on Trying..

Trying and trying again is getting old, but I am way too stubborn to give up. I kept on seeing things to do in Canva, so I thought I would try something new, and making “thank you cards” didn’t seem too hard.

I thought of 15 ways to say, “thank you,” but I wished I hadn’t wasted my time, because I couldn’t do the next part.

The steps were simple enough:

  1. Create a free account on canva, select a free design, and then add your message. Save your creation on pdf
  2. Create a free printify account and upload your design.

This didn’t work for me, no matter the times I tried, and I didn’t bother to create a free Etsy account. Okay, this didn’t work, but I am not going to stop until I find something that will work. 

I am BEYOND TIRED OF WORKING A FULL TIME JOB for a company that doesn’t know who I AM!!!!!

Not Stopping….

I wonder why people don’t believe in putting a leash on their dog. I decided to start my “new me” by walking in the morning before the sun makes it too hot to walk. It wasn’t an easy walk, because I am walking with a boot on my left leg. I was taking each step slow and steadily, as I listened to my music walking down the street, and then it came to a sudden stop when I heard the barkering.

Okay, my walk was cut short, but I did a chair aerobics routine and called it a day. I had planned on dancing before I called it a night, but tired eyes closed before I could set that planned into action.

That dog may have cut my walk short, I wasn’t going to let it cut my workout short, because I will be a better me. I also decided to write down my journey.

To the Beach I go…

I am finally going to the beach. True it isn’t an overnight stay or somewhere I dreamed of going, and I cannot actually walk on the beach. I have to wear a boot when I am out in about. Then again I am still walking with a cane, so walking on the beach isn’t going to be easy anyway. Not at all this time.

**side note: If you are over fifty and fall. Don’t act like you are still in your teens, get up, go back to work, and act like you are not in pain. Take it from me when I say, “take a few days off with your feet raised on a pillow and keep it iced”.

I was happy for the day trip to the beach. I admit I was almost thinking about calling it off, because I wouldn’t be able to move freely. 

Nope not letting that stop me. I am not sure what part of Myrtle Beach I will be going to or what to think. Is it just a beach with a lot of hotels or what?

I was told to bring a beach towel and a chair and I was thinking to myself, “You know I have never been to a beach before and you know I am out of work, so how would I have those things?” I then enform that I would be on my own as if I didn’t already know.  I also started thinking what can I bring for the ride there, and so my beach list begins:

  1. Yarn for a small crochet project. Well, I was thinking about bringing two. The blanket I am working on now, for the bus, and a smaller project for when I find somewhere to sit out on the beach boardwalk.
  2. I will have my pink headphones, and a portable charger.
  3. A notebook I got on amazon. (When I find it, I put it in a bag somewhere)
  1. I know I will eat a big breakfast, bring lots of snacks, and get dinner before getting back on the bus. Oh I will bring a few bottles of water .
  2. I will have a good time…

A True Smile

Time to get back to the world of words. I cannot believe I stopped doing one of the few things I enjoy doing. I was playing follow the leader and that leader wasn’t helping me get to the top, but barely keeping me above ground.

Every day was just like the last. You get up, get ready for work, come back tired, and you do it again. You tell yourself today will be different, you know what you have to do, but you are still playing that video over and over.

I am tired of watching that show. It’s time for something, “NEW”. I am thinking about one of my favorite movies, “Sister Act. I was thinking about the 2nd one, when Ms. Whoopi Goldberg was talking to the students, trying to encourage them to become a choir, well be more than what they thought they could be. 

It is NOT too late for me to get back on track. I will write/type (rather I am writing a short story or working on my book) every day, I will crochet every day (I am going to get a certificate to be able to teach what I love), and I am already creating notebooks every day on bookbolt.com

There is more to this, but I am working on that as well. I also learned I like making fruit trays, but that’s another story. It is time to get a cup of tea and get back to being a BETTER ME!  I will keep moving… I am also on the hunt for a new anime…
