March is Women’s History Month so let the celebrating begin! This year I chose to highlight women who paved the way for the right to a fair and equitable education regardless of race or gender. Two strong ladies who made strides in education opening the door for more opportunity for ourselves and today’s youth.
I don’t know what to do. The political climate is contentious, and we are all drawing lines in the sand. It’s all over social media, it is on every news channel, TV station, and in our homes. I was out to dinner with my husband, and you can hear people at the other tables talking about it. It was happening at our table, too. This is where I need some advice.
There are so many thoughts running through my head all the time. I am sitting in my backyard, listening to the birds chirp their different songs. One just landed on the grass a few feet away from me, danced around, and flew away. I am at peace.
Happy Sunday, my friends! Believe it or not, for the first time in 21 months, I did not write a new post for my blog this Sunday and this passage sums it up perfectly for me …
It happens a few times a year, this feeling of not wanting to take a shower. Not wanting to leave the house. I just want to plant myself on the couch, watch TV, and be alone. Always the holidays, again late in winter and then the summer. Being sad when you know you should be happy.
The alarm went off at 7:55; my heart jumped and the tears popped into my eyes. My head told me to get up and move because I don’t want to be crying all day.
This year, I went in a different direction. I am not a huge fan of Mother’s Day, and interestingly enough, so many people I spoke to aren’t either.
I am just going to have to come out of my bubble for a minute. Get my head out of the sand! It isn’t as though I don’t know messed up shit happens in this world, I DO KNOW! I just don’t want to watch it or hear about it anymore. It can seriously ruin your mental health.
