“For such a time is this.” -Esther 4:14
Letting go is hard. Resistance to change and refusing to let go can hinder your future steps. Just because you have had it for years or done something for years doesn’t mean it has to continue. Hanging on to just hang on is hard. When it becomes a burden, it is time to let it go.
Change continues. Finding Joy.
Blessings.

Today is HIV National Testing Day.
National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) was first observed on June 27, 1995.
The 2017 federal theme is “Test Your Way. Do It Today”.
I have spoken before about how old I am (50), and growing up in the 1980’s HIV wasn’t really known. I am a big believer in health checks. Mammograms are vital in catching breast cancer. Pap smears if you are sexually active, and HIV testing.

You are your own advocate!

5 THINGS TO QUIT RIGHT NOW. (Seen on Instagram)
What do you need to quit?
Blessings!
Last Sunday I talked about criticizing and complaining, and then again on Thursday talked about failing. I know I fail daily in this. It is so easy to get caught up on the “why does it happen this way?” or “why does my spouse or child do this?” or even “I am so fat.” It takes effort, and it is exhausting.
It is a moment by moment conscience decision to not be negative in thought or to speak negative things. Again, I am feeling convicted because I feel that all I have done is complained lately. I know that I end up feeling worse if I continue in that thought process.
It has been raining, and storming most of the past week. Not have sunshine physically takes a toll on my spirits. I feel as though my thoughts bleed that way as well. I should be grateful for the rain, but we have had enough for a while I think. Like mother nature will listen to me? Ha. But think about it. If we are constantly raining on our thoughts with criticism or complaining it will bring us down. I think it saddens me, and I don’t like it.
Trying again. Grateful for the bits of sunshine yesterday and today.

Working from home this morning.
Dexter is happy about this too. ❤️ Did you take your pet to work today?
Happy Friday!
Happy First Day of Summer.
I live in the Panhandle of Florida. We don’t normally get many storms, but apparently we are getting two in row in the next few weeks.
Mainly rain. Lots of rain. We have already had our share recently. The mushrooms are in bloom in the yard, and just keeping up with the grass is difficult. People are mowing regardless of the if the grass is dry enough kind of days.
So trying to stay dry…
Happy Wednesday!
Feeling convicted.
“Today’s challenge to anyone who’s game: Go all day till falling asleep tonight without complaining or criticizing a single time. God, fill us!” – Beth Moore
Maybe one of these…but both! Goodness. Okay—Sunday, bring it on!
