Feel Good Friday..........

I woke up from my 2 hour slumber feeling amazing!! That ever happen to you?? I mean cheesing, geeking for no visible reason?! well that was me at 5a.m......the babies ( my dogs ) looking at me like "sit your happy ass down"...LOL..... on my commute to the plantation this morning, as i blast rick ross( a must have for the summer by the way) [sidebar: did i say plantation? i meant concentration camp. in all aspects of the word] i digress, moving on-------> i realized why: i am extremely happy! i mean at a point where I can smile and show all my teeth, braces and all.....i mean not that half ass smile, the ugly one, (my students call it the Mary Kay smile), the 5th-grade-your-mom-pressed-your-hair-and-you-sweated-it-out-at-recess-after -she-told-your-ass-to -chill-b/c-of -school-pictures-and-you-looked-like-a-bamma-in-the-christmas-gift-your-wack-ass-aunt-gave-you smile;where u dont show your teeth and it barely reaches you eyes; ya'll know the one you give that bitch you don't like at work but you HAVE to be "professional"?? NOT that smile.......but the sincere smile that makes your cheeks hurt, and your eyes partially close; the smile that's evident when you think of "him" or "her"; the expression you show when the baby at the store smiles at you for no apparent reason;the smile that sends chills directly to your heart, and raises those little hairs on your arm...Ya'll know what I mean..THAT SMILE!! that's what I'm feeling today and i wanted to share it with you.......I love this feeling, the capacity to feel this emotion and know that that it can be permanent if I CHOOSE.... I realized I have chosen to be happy; chosen to be positive. Chose to be alive rather than just living......


Think about your choices ....after all, they are YOURS.....



As I close, I leave you with the bronzer, mascara, and lipgloss [sidebar: most would say "vitamin", "inspration," neccessities right? like breakfast right? well these are MY morning must-haves, my breakfast...and should be every other woman's as well------>>> whole different topic right??? LLS RAM-BLING]

This is also another piece I read often, whenever I CHOOSE to doubt myself, my dreams, and sometimes my faith:

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are,
doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped,
doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along to share your life,
doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made the race worthwhile,
doesn't give you permission to stop running.
Just because no one has realized how much of an awesome person you are
doesn't mean they affect your physicality
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level,
doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve the best there is,
doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because God is still preparing your king/queen
doesn't mean that you are not already royalty.
Just because you're situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now,
doesn't mean you need to change a thing.
Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, and keep praying.
Keep being exactly what you are already. COMPLETE.
