Are you more of a night or morning person?
BACK IN MY YOUTHFUL DAYS 🤣🤣🤣
I’m old enough to say that now 😳…
Any way…
All it took was PIZZA ICE CREAM AND DRAGON BALL Z @ 12 am to 3 am binge party before it was a thing!
Two best friends just thrashing ice cream pints and pizza with DBZ on the side😎
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
THATS A NO BRAINER!!!
IM GETTING EVERYTHING BACK THE 😈STOLE!!!
How DID I LOOSE EVERYTHING THO..?!!!
BRUH!
EVERYTHING???!
You lost more than some stuff…
BUT
You still have to keep going…
You have to believe you can recover…
God for bid..
THATS A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Especially since some possessions are irreplaceable…
Not all possessions are material…
Which makes it even harder to recover…
It is possible,
If you are willing to change…
Habits are learned,
So,
Learn something new.
Rebuild you….
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Tomorrow is a calendar designation only.
When we awake and are aware of time, we have already stepped in today.
There is a reason it was recorded when said, “DO ALL YOU CAN DO TODAY”.
While it is yet TODAY…
Time is a delicate storm to navigate,
It can be squandered or captured. You can sieze the DAY or let it slip into memory.
Whatever encounters you today, the good the bad the beautiful and the ugly…
It is the choices you make throughout these 24 hrs. That makes the difference.
Lessons I have learned…
Once the day is done & you are blessed to lay your head down to lift it when the Sun or the alarm clock provokes you out of your sleep;
Know that, though it seems like the same routine realize that it’s all brand new.
Leave regret on the pillow wash off its residue step lively into your next moment…
Because these moments only come ONCE in a lifetime…
Please do well, Don’t be super critical of the misteps you take.
Let your words flow with the fragrance of HOPE Kindness & Love.
Guard your heart with all you have.
From your heart FLOWS the issues of LIFE…
Dont allow your issues to grow into problems…
Easier said than done, but that is why it’s called,
WORK…
The thing about adulting is that you have to handle what you are responsible for,
And WHO…
NEWSFLASH, the very 1st thing you are responsible for…
IS YOU…
WE LIVE, WE LOVE, WE GROW…
Adulting 101… God bless us all…🙏🏾
What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
An attribute that is not given lightly.
It is EARNED…
It is carefully given, extended to those who have shown they can be trusted.
Entitled to my innermost thoughts…
It is not passed to those with flattering words, nor is it extend to those baring gifts.
LOYALTY is a proven sword that has proven its worth through every battle.
Loyalty has its scares & wounds, yet still through the fire, it is proven to be more valuable.
Loyalty is a value of the heart that treasures it above itself…

What would your life be like without music?
I can’t even imagine life without music.
Life without music…
One of the greatest creations Man has developed into art.
We express so much through our music, whatever the genre is.
Our joy, love. Pain…. memories, all captured by melodies in harmony played through instruments.
Musical instruments that have been discovered date back to the early days of mankind, ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Music is in our DNA…
A World without music…
Is a world without expression, beauty, and emotion.
I can’t even imagine what that world would look like or sound like…
So, BLAST your favorite song!
Sing it loud!
Play your steering wheel drumset, lol
Music is a universe of limitless creation of colorful emotions, feelings,
Escape!
How do you celebrate holidays?
HOLIDAYS ARE FAMILY & FRIENDS TIME
Sit down for a moment is usually the thought after preparing for the day or the night of events.
The occasion makes it well worth it.
Spending time with family, friends, & FOOD!!!
Depending on the occasion, the menu is usually full of what everyone brought or bought.
Any occasion spending time with family members and friends makes time worth every second.
Smiles, laughter, & memories make it priceless.
With the reminder that not all of us are here to be seen or heard makes it even more precious.
The TIME we have together is unknown,
Therefore, there are some tears involved, from time to time.
Reminiscing about life…
Reflecting on lessons each of us has learned during the time apart helps fill the air with stories that help fill the air with emotions, which add value to every moment spent.
Recovering those lost to time refreshes their missing presence…
With a beautiful joy, we say hello with warm hugs,
Followed by Jabs to the ego as laughter spreads when your most embracing moments are shared by those closest to you.
The time is precious;
The reason to gather becomes bigger than the calendar date.
These moments remind us of the love we have anchored to us.
Family…
That’s what it really is about…
Whenever the pieces of your life come together in one place…
It’s the definition of a magic moment where…
Lost loved ones are resurrected with every recalled encounter…
We call to them when our thoughts run back to, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…?
Even writing this…
In our memories, our loved ones still exist…
Holiday…
What better occasion is there to see their smiles…
When we hear their voices…
When you reach the untouchable…
… Time has a sense of cruelty…
A double-edged sword…
Memories cords…
I think of these things as tears build in my eyes even know…
” DAMN I MISS YOU…”
My Family…
My friends…
These tears remind me…
I will see you again…
Until then, these occasions bring you back again…
I look up to the sky, knowing I will see you again…
CHERISH THE TIME YOU HAVE…
Every moment….
Every day….
As time ticks away…😥
Take a moment..
Remember our Fallen…
Remember the 1st responders who gave their all… even their lives to answer the call…
Remember our generations Pearl Harbor…
Remember the soldiers still fighting this seemingly endless war…
Remember…. 🥺😢😭
REST IN LOVE TO THOSE WE REMEMBER TODAY….
At the start of the day, many can attest to this. There is a gloomy cloud over your head to greet you…
For those who may not understand,
The battle with depression is REAL…
Multiple sclerosis brings its own burden with it, and then you compound adulting on top of that!
It’s a real struggle.
There is a reason we wave the MS WARRIORS banner.
This is a real Fight for your Life.
A fight to retain who you are while staying a float mentality.
This is not for the faint of heart…
Multiple sclerosis will reveal what kind of heart you have.
WARRIORS LIVE HERE 💪🏾
TO WIN IS THE ONLY OBJECTIVE…
ME AND A LIL FRUIT TREE…
Passing from pill to pill-
Opiods SUCK-
From percocet to vicodin and back again.
TO No effect, OPIODS SUCK, did nothing to mask that,
MS SUCKS!
The pain!
So I reached back into my memory banks, pulling up times full of smiles and laughter with some great food after,
Back to 19…
Reflecting on Purple and Green…
Buds are broken to fill a void…
A piece in the storm raging under layers of painful waves crashing against the walls of sanity…
Finally, a ledge to halt this free fall grabbing hold of a peaceful calm…
“HEY”
“Pass the Bong!”
Finally, relief…
Peace…
Found in a Cannabis leaf…
