Oh yes, I was missing in actions for a few weeks. When life hits you, you take a breather from everything and try to find your rhythm. She is me, and I am her. I had to soak in strength, and for that, I had to unhinge and rehinge, if you get my drift😁

Sometimes in the past few weeks, I kept asking myself, what are all these running around for? Why am I doing all that I am doing? Exhausted, stressed, worried, a little happy, it all goes puff, the thought of “did I think this through?” Do you know that exhaustion that leads you to the point of tears, and you start to cry for no reason? I was there these past weeks, and I found myself digging and digging, riling my feelings until it became a whirlwind that I could not stop… if you have been there before, then you would understand my plight. 🫣

So these are the things I need that got me through, or I think they got me through 🤣 in no particular order.

1. I went out with my daughter; I felt the more I was sitting at home, the more the thoughts of doom and gloom evaded my space, so we just went out. It was spring break, and it was a perfect time to bond over the silliness, and we did. We even went to Castleford, somewhere I had never been to before.

2. Watch happy movies; I binged on Netflix and Walker; it was good to catch up with series and movies, and laughter and tears all rolled up in one.

3. I acknowledged my fears and made a mental note, and I wanted to know why I felt things were not working and how best to approach the feelings when they came. I had an honest-to-God conversation with myself and asked myself what things about my fears I could change and what was beyond my control, and I started to act on what I could change.

4. I prayed for Patience; I feel I have an “impatient” problem, the point where I am in my life, the things beyond my control need patience, and I think in my head that I can hurry it up, I cannot, and the frustration is what is part of the problem. Patience to trust that things are working underneath even when I do not see it, patience that it will all turn out well; I need to give it time.

5. Positive thoughts, before I get out of bed, I start to map out my thoughts; I tell myself, “Charity, everything will work out for good” Then all the positive affirmations, trust me, sounds cheesy, but they do work. Tell yourself that help will come for you, things will be easy; God will come through, you will be happy, rejoice in the day and be glad in today.

6. Songs, I feel songs are spiritual; they minister to your soul, they keep you grounded; please not sobbing sad love songs.

I hope this helps you as it keeps helping me, and I will try not to be MIA again..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
