I wouldn't necessarily tag today as a bad day. Although a few negative things did take place, I was prepared and faced them head on. I won't get into the details. Suffice it to say that you probably wouldn't blame me if I just shut off my cellphone and all of the lights, crawled into bed and buried myself under the comforters indefinitely (well that's a little dramatic but you get my drift). Funny thing is, as I was driving home from work, I couldn't shake this feeling that everything was going to be just fine.
I'm a praying woman so I prayed. I asked for strength. I asked for the ability to keep it moving forward. And I asked for an expectant heart ... a heart that is optimistic against all odds. I believe my prayers were answered. Believe me, I know that there are people a lot worse off than me. I know that I am fortunate in so many ways. Still there are some things that are lacking in my life ... yet, I know its going to be just fine.
When I got home it seemed like someone had broken into my house and rigged it to remind me just how okay everything is going to be. Of course I don't mean someone broke into my house literally ... but here's what I mean ...
When I got home I went into my bedroom and began sorting things for laundry tomorrow. I pushed the play button on my stereo not knowing which CD was loaded in the disc changer and began pulling my sheets off of the bed. Just as I was about to start thinking negatively the voice of gospel singer, Tamela Mann, told me "I have a feeling that everything's gonna be alright!" I smiled at that.
Then, I went into my closet to search for a specific book that I'd packed up before I moved to this place. And I came across a cassette tape of a woman's conference I had attended several years ago. The title of the tape was "Things Will Work Out." I laughed at that.
I know that things are going to work out in my favor. I am going to stay positive and I'm going to get through this like I've gotten through far worse.
Just thought I'd share.
Be Sweet,

Ebony I think I know what you are going through right now. It's like I'm having a great day driving to McDonald's the get a quick bite and almost immediately someone cuts me off then puts on the left blinker to turn and the other side has a long line. You finally get to continue and you go there and get your order then check you bag, (Hey, they have us trained that we need to check our bags to make sure that they didn't forget something to give us), and thankfully you did and they get mad at you because you asked for whatever they forgot. The point is by now you start to get a bad attitude because it's a buildup. Sometimes you must turn the cell phone off and such to not give that displaced aggression to anyone. Take the hint from your thoughts. Get some "me" time and just relax. Like you said in your prayer; it will be alright.
