Reblog of April’s Random Ramblings (2022)

Shaun Bradford

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

Try Again

Shaun Bradford

I do not care how many times you have to start over, or how crazy you may look to others or what they might say (people are going to talk either way)—Try again!

Try again and keep trying until you get what you desire. Do not allow anyone or anything to stop you, not even you! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. We allow our emotions, insecurities, egos, and thoughts of inferiority to stop us from seeing things through. Not this time. Today, we are going to block everything that hinders us from moving forward. We can do it!

Try again.

Then, keep trying until you see what you dreamed.♥️

Life Is Complex

Shaun Bradford

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.🙏🏽

Open The Bottle

Shaun Bradford

Have you been limiting God? Limiting Him to only what you see, know, and have experienced? If so…STOP! Stop limiting Him. He’s not a genie, but you have Him confined to a bottle as if He were one. Instead of allowing Him to work freely, you have limited Him to what you believe you want. The funny thing is, God already knows what you need to reach your fullest potential. And whatever that might be, may not even be on your radar at this moment. Remember, God knows and sees all.

Listen, I am receiving this message as I write. It’s definitely for me too! Whew!!

Open the bottle and let God free! Let Him do His thing! I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited!

Thanking God for loving me like only He can. I am definitely blessed. Y’all, I needed this revelation.♥️
