This morning started out fucking amazing. I got up early to start checking shit off my list. Yes, to be clear, I made my list last night when I was sitting out in garage. I absolutely love my sleep and getting up early has never been my strong suit. But, I engaged with a walking buddy last night (as part of my list making–ENGAGE WALKING BUDDY), I had a reason to get up. Can’t leave her hanging right?

Got up, got dressed and took care of business and I was off to meet my walking buddy. About 3 minutes into the walk I got a call from a dear friend. This person is one of the best souls that I know on this planet and to have her call so early was not the norm. To protect her and not make her feel on display, I will not relay what was said. I will say this, there is so much peace and healing potential, knowing that someone else can RELATE to you. The old saying is misery loves company, but that doesn’t truly come close to what this is, not entirely. When someone you love, admire and respect, calls you to say that they RELATE to you, it gave me MORE HOPE. There weren’t words of promise, like oh it will get better. In fact, it was the opposite. There were words of encouragement, they’ve been there and they have also felt what I feel. Do you know how fucking powerful that is? It shows me that I’m not crazy, I am normal and I will still go on. I will live. To that amazing soul, THANK YOU.

I then met up with my walking buddy and was greeted by her puppy doggie. This dog, I tell ya, he loves me. Every time I go over to her house, my walk up song is “So this is love” from Cinderella. You know the song? “So this is love, MMMM, ” Seriously. He loves me and adores me and man, I feel the same. He’s a handsome love muffin. Anywho, we had the handsome devil join us on the walk. It was a kick-ass time, we solved most of the worlds problems and went into a rant about Bridgerton. We did the 2 miles and took a little longer than normal, but no biggie there. Today was about getting back on track, feeling positive and not understanding what the shit the latest season of Bridgerton was suppose to be. (Insert eye roll).

I will end this with a quote I found yesterday. I can’t over use it, but it will definitely need to be my new mantra. Maybe someone can put it on a mug for me or something….(WINK WINK)

“Keep your face always to the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” Yeah, that shit hit home.
