Be Thankful for the Little Things

Hello Beloved! Happy Friday! We got 3 more days to make it through and we are free for the holidays. Speaking of holidays, we got to be thankful for the lil things. Christmas is not all about gifts. We were given the best gift 2,000 years ago. We get so cared away in Christmas shopping we forget the little things. We forget that its a gift to be alive. We forget that its a gift to have food on our table, roof over our head, and clothes to wear. We forget that its a gift to have your the activity of your limbs. We forget its a gift to have breath in our bodies and to wake up to have everyone you love or care for is still alive from the night before. We have to remember that material things can come and go. You don't have to have anything for Christmas. Christmas is everyday that you wake up and continue your life the same way you did the day before. So if you don't get what you want or anything from who you want, remember that you have Christmas everyday that you are alive! Be thankful for the lil things because they make life so much better.
Have a great weekend! Be safe! Love You!

I've Come To Far To Turn Around

Hello Babies! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. Have you ever felt like giving up? Just throw in the towel, throw your hands up and say the heck with this? I know you have because I have had plenty of days like that. Then there is that one person (or persons) or something that makes you say "I can give up now. I come to far from where I started from." As the first semester winds down and it will be Christmas break in 7.5 days (including today), you can't give up. You got to work a little bit hard and stay focus. You are Almost There! So continue to work hard and keep your head up. Don't stress it will be alright in a few. Love you much and want to leave you with this:

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Do you really know what you are wearing?

Good Day Babies! I hope you are well. It is finally here! It's Friday! 
Question for you? Have you ever thought about where did the clothes you like to wear originated from? Example: Victoria Secret was created by a man named Victor. Look up what your favorite brands are, and see how they originated. 


Have a great weekend! Be safe and enjoy!

   

Staying in your Lane

You ever been driving down the road and seen someone cross over in the other lane? Or driving on the Interstate and people are swaying back and forth from lane to lane. That type of stuff is very annoying. It causes accidents and some times death. In life we have lanes as well. People do not stay in their lanes either. Everyone is in people's business and don't know what's going on. He said, she said, and some times its a no one said. Lies are spread and fights are started. Haters love drama because Misery loves company. Everyone have things in their life that they not happy with. Some people's life is so distraught that they like to keep other people's name in their mouth and full of lies so know one can say anything about them. Then you have those people who will always talk about how things could've, should've, would've but don't do nothing at all. They are the drivers that  cross over in front of you and slow down. Every time you do something good or try to be a positive ray of light to someone, they come with all the lies and rumors that are not true. The are your Jealous drivers. They always got something to say but never willing to help. Some times its best to just shut up and keep your thoughts to yourself. Its a song that says, "Sweep around your own backdoor before you try to sweep around mines." So please try to stay in your own lane. If you going to hindered  others, pull over and just let them go on. I have learned that if you spend 50% of the time minding your OWN business and the other 50% staying out of others business; you don't have time to do anything else. 

How can you help?

I was reading through some things and saw something that disturbed me. As we all know that the Christmas is fast approaching, 19 days away, and I saw that an organization that usually play Secret Santa for a group of children would not be doing it this year, due to the fact that people didn't want to participate and the organization didn't have the funds. I didn't know how to take this. I wanted to know first, why people tripping? Then I wanted to know what is that I can do to help? I know that there is more children than I can help. I know I can't fix it but I know that I want to do something. It may not be much but something. If you had the opportunity to help, what would you do? Would you buy a toy and give it to the children or would you ignore the situation and say,"that's not my problem"? Just a curious question. Have a great day!
