Some days after a week or month even of constant running speaking engagements and reading and exercising I have energy but just feel spent. And today is one of those days I just feel spent so I am taking the day off as a sleepy head staying in bed not answering the phone no tv just resting. I would sleep if I could but those darn intrusive thoughts keep waking me up so much for being a sleepy head but any who I go give it my best shot I am going back to sleep. Sweet dreams everyone #Recovery Happens

Today I was invited to participate in a service as I am an ordained Pastor. And the service was beautiful but Ingot two different sets of directives from 2 different people. So I humbled myself enjoyed the singing, the word and just Let God have His way. Yes I will admit I was saying here we go again; who’s really in control and I gave all concerns to God and watched Him have His way. So who’s really in control God! Don’t get it twisted because you have a position or a title because God can do whatever He wants to do and there’s no one who you can tell on Him. Sometimes in this recovery walk you have to take a stand other times you remain humble quiet smooth and it will work itself out #Recovery Happens

I hear people say “When life gives you lemonades make lemonade” I get it but what if you don’t like lemonade? No seriously, sometimes it’s okay but what about the times you don’t feel like lemonade what if you just want to say it is what is is and punch your way through it. Don’t talk about it be about it make “Powerade” Recovery Happens!

Wow where did the time go today? Even everyday. Honest it’s feels like rush hour everyday! I try to plan my day and set up appointments and still I find myself rushing to get things done and meet deadlines. Is this too a part of recovery? I mean I know Recovery isn’t going to be a cake walk but rush hour everyday! That’s not part of the plan. It’s feeling like this that causes “Popcorn” my other half to show up and God knows she can be a bit much better she’s even a bully at times. Guess I need to visit my quiet place today you know the one in my mind; traffic seems a little calmer upstairs see ya ! Time to hang out my “Do not disturb” sign. Lights out no cameras please or sound effects. Gone on vacation# Recovery Happens!

Honest some days I don’t know if I am rolling along on wheels or actually wheeling you know going dizzy in my head because ai got so much going on. Either way I am the driver and even in my head ai find I need to do offense and defense driving. Well at least I am moving huh? However, I like it better wheeling a four wheel vehicle and not wheeling in my head. #Recovery Happens!

What is self? It is the essential being that distinguishes you from another. It’s like having your own name brand how cool is that!!! Then to have confidence that it’s a major seller! Yeees embrace your unique self be you. You are powerful, you create power when you believe in yourself. So take the world and market that unique brand show yourself strong just be you. Believe in yourself and become a power broker. Develop the attitude of “Yes I can” and “Yes I will” and “I must” and watch what happens. #Recovery Happens!

When it’s seems like it’s an up hill battle it usually is; however ai have learned to “Just Breathe” and continue on. Life is like oxygen, and when in recovery you just have to take it all in in small breathes! #Just Breathe # Recovery Happens!

Life is beautiful; yet there are times when we suffer the loss of a loved one, a job, a house, a friendship, relationships etc. and it can cause one to feel dull, depressed like a shadow has been cast over you. However, like moods shadows change. Today I have decided to let my light so shine that you can’t see any of life’s shadows! “ If you not casting light you are casting shadows” author unknown. Works for me! #Recovery Happens

Today I tell myself that “Yes I Can” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and it is so! Look out world here I come #Recovery Happens!

Today is just one of those days; there is a overcast in the clouds today. Although the weather report doesn’t say it’s going to rain I think today would be a good day do some much needed house cleaning! Physically, Spiritually and Emotionally!!! Recovery Happens!
