GRATEFUL
I’ve been taking it one day at a time.
Being reminded to not take anything for granted. Thinking about youth. Thinking about skin. Thinking about bones. Thinking about body.
How to not take those things for granted.
Remembering that those things could be taken away.
Every day is a reminder of my Father above.
SWEETS
If I could bring back some people for dinner, it would be someone that means a lot to me.
Someone that brought me a lot of laughs and smiles. Someone that could cook, bake, and make juice.
She was my favorite. Also she rewarded good behavior by giving you something of your choosing.
Surprise! It is my grandmothers. Both of their nicknames were Joyce and Sweetcake.
Sweetcake was great at baking cakes, brownies, etc. Joyce was great at cooking and baking desserts.
They enjoyed doing it. It was a happy affair when they were around. The aura!
GRANDMA JOYCE
I miss my Grandma Joyce. Because she always carried a high encouraging rich energy.
She could see things that others couldn’t see. She would tell someone about what she saw about them to encourage them. She did the same thing to her grandchildren.
What a blessing she really was.
She was inspiring above and beyond.
She told me to keep my head up always.
ERROR JORDANS
I’m an A+ student so I would love to have a pair of Jordans. The guardian parent says “no.”
The student says, “Why not? I’m an A+ student.”
The guardian says, “Because we said so.”
The student decides to become a thief and tries to steal some Jordan shoes and Jordan material.
He’s caught by a guardian and told, “You are dumb.”
Stealing is dumb, not smart. Don’t be a criminal.
You want Jordans, work for it. Get a job.
HOPING FOR GOOD
What are some things I’m hopeful for?
I’m really hoping for peace, joy, happiness, abundance, and keeping my head up. With the fire and ability to stay encouraged and be inspired.
Not lacking in peace, joy, gladness, and abundance. It requires a lot of meditation and self-examination, meaning you’re going to have to be accountable for your actions.
At the end of the day can you look yourself in the mirror and be content with yourself? With a smile or content stare.
Hopefully you can.
