I  did it, I did it, I did it. I got off my but, after working this morning, and did a 30 minute workout. My legs are like noodles, my arms are going to feel it tomorrow, and I couldn't be happier. while working out, of course I wanted to quit. But I reminded myself, if I wanted to live to be over 80, do I want to be mobile or not. If I want to be mobile, then I better get moving. Whether it was the burpees, lunges, I need the exercises, I needed to keep moving and push and push. I hadn't worked out in heaven knows how long. And that's not good. So, maybe today is day one. Who's with me?

In a real happy place. I sure hope that as you're reading this that you also can say you're in a very good happy place right now in life. . If not, then figure out what you need to change. There are many circumstances in your life you can't can change but find the ones that you can control. in the past I have moved from one state to another to change my environment because of things being so miserable. several times I have put in my notice and switch jobs or rather employers because of the stress and it wasn't worth it no matter how much they are paying me. These lessons I learned in life have been wonderful to learn early on so I'm not set in a rut or living stuck. Do your best to live liberated in free and in control. define and be in your happy place.

Chocolate coffee shake! ☕🍫 Yes I still rely on my superfood shakes since 2012. I know and feel this has helped keep my immune system strong. Find one you like and stick with it. I do want to thank a sweet friend of mine who recently purchased her subscription to monthly superfood shake solution. Life is too busy busy and crazy and difficult oh, this makes it so much easier. She not only helped her health but also helped my family purchase groceries. yes I have referral links and it's not a secret. It helps pay the bills. Not living extravagant or extra. Just basics and most of all spending time with family, full-time wife, full-time mom, and living my best daily... It is definitely more fun and easier when friends are doing life with you. Here for you! Yes you. Message if you need to talk Hugs!

What's the special occasion you ask? Well two things... (Play time) My youngest opened her 'cafe' in her room. Even hired her older sister to waitress while she was the cook. I had pizza, fries, and a mocha, it was delish and plastic. 🤣😊💝👍 (Social time) it was a dear friends birthday, so she had a zoom party called here tiara party... My tiara was a head band from the game headbandz and I used the balloon card. 🤣😊👍💝 It was a great Saturday! How was yours??

How long do you think this will last? I believe most of us think it's just another couple weeks but know in reality at least a month if not two. Just know that again you need to control what you can control. If you need to talk I'm here. This is going to be a season that will come and go. It definitely made last longer than you anticipate. Just prepare for that. Let's help with shorter. Love you and God bless. Jackie

It's amazing what can happen in just a few days or even a week. Please know that endurance is the victory in life. Learn to hang in there, be patient, look forward. look back 4 pictures and see you this was only merely one leaf but look at it now, look at it bloom. This is no different than you and your life and your circumstances. Know that things could be small right now but you can bloom and grow. Sometimes this happens on your own and sometimes it happens with help. I can testify that God has given me the most amazing tribe around our family. mostly it's just us, the six of us, but we have 22 other people who are financially supporting what we do (our nonprofit) where we are. then there are others we don't know who are praying for us we are blessed. you are too. Know that people love you and people are thinking and praying about you whether they see you daily, like your post, or even comment. You're in many hearts and that's a special place to be. accept and ...

This was appropriate to be in my garden this past week. Reminding me to grow even with the scratch/scar. It's still beautiful! Are you still growing? Keep growing!
