I wake up feeling happy. I wake up telling the day to get ready because here I come ready or not. I find things usually work out for me. I think it’s more in the attitude I take toward life than in my DNA. I begin and end each day in gratitude. I try my best to connect with other people. My recipe is this: Smile frequently. Lend a helping hand where you can. Constantly talk to yourself feeding yourself with positive talk. Pray with a grateful heart. And, stay away from folks who stay angry and only see one side of a coin. And, don’t pay too much attention to the talking political heads. C’mon, you know it’s going to be a good day. It’s the only one we got.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, MOM
What If . . .
What if I had another hour in the day, what would I do with it. Would I binge watch a series I’ve been wanting to see? Would I sleep in an extra hour? Would I use it to invite friends to a party? Would I use it to pray? There are so many ways I could use the extra hour in the day. The more I think about it,, I like the day the way it is. It’s 24 hours. I can count on it, I like my life, the extra hour would surely complicate matters. Life has enough complications without adding a bunch more.
