This year, I’m dead set on making overthinking a thing of the past. It’s either a go or no go for me. Time is too precious and much too short to continue wasting thinking of a million scenarios of how things could go wrong when I could be making moves towards things going right.
It’s Self-Love Saturday, y’all! What do you have planned? Me… I’m about to be a little extra… just a little.🤭
My daughter surprised me with a birthday sash!! Now why did she do that when she knows she’s easily embarrassed by my shenanigans?😅😂 But I’m going to be good.
Wishing you a wonderful Saturday! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️
Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile
I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.
Anyhoo…
I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen
The peace that God gives is nothing like the peace we attempt to create for ourselves. His peace isn’t superficial. It’s not something that can be captured in a photo. His peace is soul deep, and once you’ve experienced it, you never want to live without it.
This morning I’m thankful for my God-given peace.
In less than two weeks, I’ll be 53!!🥰🎉
I already know Year53 will be different because I’m different. As I told my sister-friends (because we’re more than besties☺️), with each decade comes a different level of maturity, wisdom, and desires. Our fifties aren’t meant to be like our forties, and our sixties are not meant to be like our fifties. Change is good. Growth is good. This side of fifty is good.💖
This is all for today. Be sure to check out my newest blog site “Shaun’s Daily Inspiration” for more inspiration and daily quotes.
Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️
I’m beginning my day with joy and gratitude as I do every morning. Over the years, I’ve learned that Joy Grows with Gratitude. The more grateful I am, the more joyous I am.
God, thank You for waking me up this morning. For the rhythm of my heartbeat. For the ability to see, hear, breathe, walk, and think. These are things I often overlook because they happen so naturally. But I want You to know they’re not things I take for granted. I’m grateful to be here. Amen
What are you grateful for today?
Remember to start every morning with gratitude, and watch how your joy grows.♥️
Listen. Never underestimate the power of God, nor the power of prayer and praise. Keep praying. Keep praising. In good times, as well as bad. It’s easy to slack off when things are good, but those are the prayers and praises that keep you strong during the storms. They keep you going!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
16. Rejoice always,
17. Pray continually,
18. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Rejoice, pray, and give thanks. (Repeat)
Today’s the final day of my birthday month. I truly enjoyed my celebrations. Smiling as I think about my time with my babies. Just thinking about our conversations and their smiles makes my heart sing. I love them so much.🥰🥰
I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous week! May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and unexpected favor (claiming this for myself too☺️).
When we’ve done all we can, there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s to trust God. This should’ve been the first thing we did, but we’re human, right? Smile
I’m so thankful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. For another opportunity to trust Him to do what only He can do.
Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.
This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.
June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.
This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰
Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️
Here are a few more memories from June 29th.
The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨
Great memories!
Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️
