Life

Stronger, Wiser & Blessed

Shaun Bradford

How I’m feeling this morning—

I woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
I’m so blessed, yes yes
I went to sleep stressed, woke up refreshed
I’m so blessed, yeah yes
Water in my face and everything is in it’s place
Peace of mind even my grace
I’m so blessed, yes yes yes
Jill Scott – Blessed

And… blessed. Life must go on. There is so much more to do. Living and loving every minute of my Year50. It’s definitely shaping me into the woman I am becoming.

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️ Shaun

God Has Something Better Planned

Shaun Bradford

I’m learning more and more not to become discouraged when things don’t work out as I thought they would. Either things do not happen because 1) it’s not time, 2) it’s for our protection, or 3) it just isn’t meant to be. No matter the reasons, God always has something better planned. Always

Unfortunately, my uncle did not win the election. There were a few hiccups (ran out of ballots at several precincts) in one of the major counties. Yes, voter suppression at its finest. Anyhoo… In my opinion, my uncle did very well. With 94% of the votes in, he received nearly 42% of the votes (over 300K votes). To me that’s pretty awesome. To go from no one knowing your name six months ago to having over 300 thousand votes is good.

Well y’all, my Year50 continues. It was nice to experience politics from a different point of view. I have absolutely no idea what other adventures are in store for the next seven months. I will say that so far things have been much different from the first 50 years. Not in a bad way, just different and interesting. The way I view life is so different from before. I’m much calmer now, and expecting the unexpected is becoming the norm. Yeah… nothing really surprises me anymore. People are going to people and life is going to continue doing what it does. No need to stress about it, right?

Anyway…

Thanking God for peace, grace and exceptional love. I am truly blessed.

Good Night!♥️

Feeling Nervous

Shaun Bradford

It’s been a pretty long day, and I imagine tonight will feel even longer. This morning I voted for my uncle in our state’s general election. In a little over an hour, the polls will close and the results will start pouring in. It’s one thing to watch the results come in for people you don’t know but another for someone you actually know. It’s both exciting and nerve-racking. I can only imagine what he must be feeling at this moment.

My grandma and mom would be so proud of my uncle. At least my mom had a chance to support his decision to run for office before she passed.🙏🏽

That’s all for today. I’ll update y’all on the results tomorrow.

By the way, this is his Year50 also. Our birthdays are only 11 days apart and I’m the oldest. Gotta love life. What a year!
