 Zone and as the weather gets colder

The positivity goes stronger inside of me as I grow warmer and brighter than before.

For this battle is almost over and I am fighting so strong with my lord right beside me.

I know the journey doesn’t always start out so strong but I am ready for it to continue to be good and great.

 don’t know what to do as everything just keep changing for me.

I want to be happy but I know things will get better if I just take this leap.

I know I will have so much more to learn and I’m looking forward to that day.

But, for now, I just have to wait until it is my time to move forward into my new change.

For my cloudy days seem to be behind me as I move forward with my life as 2019 comes to an end.

Happy Thanksgiving

Everyone I hope you get to enjoy your day whether you are off or have to work.

And hopefully, the weather will be nice it was really windy here last night but I’m hoping to sit back and be able to relax.

For I know black Friday I will be at it again with no hope or luck insight.

I remember

When things were simpler.

Now everything is out of wack and even when we figure things out it is still not enough.

It’s a win-loss situation and when we try to fight back it is still not worth it. 

So instead I just want to throw in my towel and move on with my life.

I know I deserve better and good times will come for me but right now I have to be patient and wait my turn.

The day was long and even when I solved the problem the person didn’t want to listen and in the end, all my work felt not appreciated.

Even though I know they don’t and won’t care either way for complaining is the thing they love the most.

Oh how

 you’ve given me the strength to carry on lately.

Especially with everything going on all I can think of is how you gave me a second chance at life.

At opportunities, I didn’t think we’re going to happen to me this year.

But there you were knocking down those doors I thought we’re not gonna open and here I was gonna be left alone here to truly break down.

And lose who I was and to not believe I was good enough to leave and better myself from this place.

Oh God how much I love and appreciate all that you do for me now and later on in my life.

The hat

completes the outfit as I go out in the cold

trying to keep all of me warm as the temperatures start to drop.

I know that I won’t have long to be out but it’s better too not have to deal with feeling the bitter and sharp wind outside.

Oh, hat how you keep my head warm and how you come in handy when I don’t feel like doing my hair.

You give me just the right amount of warmth and just for the amount of time I need it for.

I know you only come out in the winter but I enjoy wearing you during these seasons.

They want

it to be all about the presents as the days get  closer and closer to Christmas this year but the truth is I don’t care for gifts this year. 

I don’t really have the desire for something big  or something small.

I just want to feel the joy and to enjoy the peace and quiet and just enjoy the time I have before things change again.

I know that I am more into the decorating parts and just living in the moment we’ll it last and not about how many gifts are under the tree.

I’ve seem to have out grown the gifts and simple if I need something I just get it unless the price is better doing black Friday but even then I don’t need to want until Christmas too have it.

A present is nice but I’m not worrying about it this year for I’ll watch a movie or the parade and drink some eggnog and call it a day for soon the new year will be coming around.

And yet again things will be different and noting will be the same again.

But I feel I will be okay with that in 2020 but until then I will do my best to fix my little bit left of 2019.

IT’S SO

cold outside that all I can think of once I’m inside again is a nice cup of hot chocolate with some whip cream on top or marshmallows.

To help warm me up inside again for I am not ready for how cold it is right now as the days get closer to Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

But I do enjoy a day of being inside and just watching a movie well been all warm and not having to deal with the cold outside, for I am not ready for snow when it gets too cold.

I can barely stand the weather now as it goes up and down and the wind isn’t helping at all either.

But tonight I’ll try to forget the cold as I wrap up in my blanket and drink something hot and sweet and think about warm things as it rains all night long.
