My Soul Is Content

I made it to the water, y’all! Now my soul is content. Just needed to feel the vibes and hear the waves. God is good. I am so grateful He loves me. Can’t say it enough, I am truly, truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

God always provides what we need. Be careful not to overlook your blessings because they are not what you envisioned. Release control.

I needed this. Serenity…

Reblog of April’s Random Ramblings (2022)

I haven’t rambled in quite some time. Smile. Y’all, I used to ramble at least every other month. Sometimes several times a month. Guess I had a lot to say back then. Now, life isn’t necessarily boring, but I do not have as much to write about anymore. That’s why I use my Facebook memories for inspiration.

Two years ago, which is when April’s Random Ramblings was written, I was almost a year into posting daily. Now I am on day 1066. Woohoo!! When I tell you I am so proud of myself! It took me several tries before I actually got the hang of it. I was determined to do it for at least a month. Y’all, I was like the blue heart guy. Laughing. Didn’t know it would be so difficult to be that consistent. Sure, I could have written and scheduled several posts in advance, but I wanted to share my thoughts daily. As I said yesterday, you have to keep trying until you see what you dreamed. Well, I did!

Okay… I didn’t necessarily see myself as a blogger; however, I saw myself connecting with the world sharing hope, love, and kindness, and a few life experiences. Making global connections has always been a lifelong dream; and blogging has allowed me to connect. Now, I’m connecting through TikTok and YouTube. My ultimate dream is to sit among leaders and diplomats from different nations and share my thoughts on hope, kindness and compassion. Listen, by the time I’m done, I’m going to have everyone singing my song, “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony).” I can see it! Smile

Anyhoo… I’m running behind this morning so I’m not going to write much more. If you have time, read “April’s Random Rambling’s,” below. Can’t believe it’s been almost two years since my son graduated from high school. Now, I have a young adult who is getting ready to enter his junior year of college, and he’s working. My babies definitely aren’t babies anymore. Life…

Well, that’s all for now. Wishing you a beautiful, peaceful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Life Is Complex

Just when you think you know yourself, you find out there’s even more to learn. Life is anything but simple. It is so complex.

Tonight, it dawned on me that I might have post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The way I responded to the air strikes happening in the Middle East wasn’t unusual for me. I have reacted similarly in the past. However, I never actually thought about why. Then, tonight it hit me that I may have been experiencing PTSD. I felt like I was there. I felt like I was back in the military going through the procedures for handling crises. I could feel the adrenaline and anxiety. Although I had never been in an active war zone, I was always close enough. And the sirens! One of the tasks that came with my job was to activate the sirens on base. Just seeing the videos and hearing the sirens was a lot. I have been retired for 13 years now, and sometimes I still feel like I’m in the military. I will always be an airman.

All I can do from here is pray. Nothing more. Praying that this all ends soon.🙏🏽

You Already Know Who You Are

Facebook Memory: April 12, 2022

Remember who you are. Then change the game!

Blessed♥️

You already know who you are. You have known all along. Now it’s time for others to know. It’s time for you to walk in your truth, calling, and purpose. Yes…it’s time. It’s time for you to change the game. Best wishes!♥️

Slow Down

This was last year’s Facebook post. The caption was simple, “Slow down.♥️”

Most things nowadays are so fast paced. Before you can get a simple thought out, people have already moved on to something else. I guess that’s just where we are as a society. It’s good to keep up with the flow, but make sure you are not moving so fast that you do not notice the blessings surrounding you. Even when life requires more, slow down enough to embrace your blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
