One Decision

So grateful God gives us multiple opportunities to make right decisions (sometimes within seconds—those “are you sure you should do this” moments). Intuition is key. If it doesn’t feel right, steer clear.

I agree, ONE decision can change the entire trajectory of life.

I often wonder what life would have been like had I stayed in Kansas after graduation; had I not joined the Air Force. Would I still be living in the same town? Would I be married with several kids? What kind of career would I have?

There are so many instances where one decision could have significantly changed my life. Also where one decision did change my life. Overall, I am satisfied with the decisions I made. Could have made a few more wiser ones, but I didn’t, and it is what it is. Smiling

Praying God gives me the wisdom and courage (fear is a bugaboo) to make better decisions as I navigate through the next 50 years of life.♥️

It’s A Luther & JG Kind Of Day

Hey Y’all!

It’s Valentine’s Day and I’m listening to two of my favorite R&B artists—Johnny Gill and the late, and oh-so-great, Luther Vandross. Y’all, I can listen to these two all day long! And sometimes do.☺️

Well, this is how my Valentine’s Day is going. What are you doing? What are you listening to?

So, here are two of my favorite songs (had added an entire playlist then decided two would do😊):

It Would Be You Johnny Gill

So Amazing Luther Vandross

Enjoy!♥️

Grateful For Second Chances

Facebook Memory: February 13, 2023

God loves us so much that He gives us opportunity after opportunity to get things right. If we miss them, it’s on us. So grateful for second chances.♥️

Often, when we think of second chances, we think of opportunities we missed accepting. However, it also applies to opportunities we should have rejected or declined.

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself at a familiar crossroad, to accept—which I had done many times before and felt miserable afterward—or decline an opportunity. Well, this time I declined the opportunity. Had told a friend that I felt like I was being tested. Well, I was! Not even a few days later, I was presented with another opportunity, a better one; one that was perfectly aligned with my goals and purpose, and it was completely unexpected. I didn’t even see it coming. When I tell you I cried! Had I accepted the other opportunity, I would have been miserable, again. Which would have affected my mental and emotional, and probably physical, wellbeing. Listen, it felt so good to finally pass that test and I was gifted something better. Smiling

Here is how I am moving going forward. I am no longer accepting things that are not aligned with my goals, purpose, values, or worth. I asked God for different, which means I have to move differently. I am not saying I won’t make some of the same mistakes as before (I’m human), but it won’t take me as long to correct them. I’m growing. Life is changing. And I am so here for it. This side of 50 is different.

Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you a wonderful Galentine’s Day (you too, fellas😊)!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Fly Away

Didn’t really know what to share for my second post of the day. Thought about not sharing anything at all. Was going to let today be a one post day. Then I kept hearing “fly away.” The first thing that popped up on Google was Lenny Kravitz’s song, “Fly Away.” Here are the lyrics. So soothing. So peaceful. Now, the actual song is anything but peaceful; however, it is somewhat soothing. I can see myself just letting go and being carefree. Anyhoo… Praying you are enjoying your day. Love you!♥️

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I’d fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please, oh

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours

Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh, oh, oh yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
