The boys are in bed, and I am sitting here with this candle flickering over my sunflowers I keep on the table. Its flames are dancing and it is just really peaceful and beautiful.
I've had another beautiful day with my mom and I am really thankful for that.
Today is also Levi's dad's birthday so we made a chocolate cake to celebrate. Levi's dad passed away a few years ago, and he never wanted a party for his birthday. But he did love chocolate cake!
I am fairly certain I have blown my whole diet this weekend...lol. But it was all because I was celebrating people I love and I know that I will get back to where I want to be weight and health wise soon.
But this evening I am fighting anxiety and trying to find a way to bring myself back to a place of peace and positive thinking. I have a meditation I am going to try while taking a bath later, but first I want to share this silly little "pep talk" from Kid President that I just adore!
Once you finish reading it, you should watch the youtube video and it will make your heart so happy:
"I think we all need a pep talk.
The world needs you to stop being boring. Yeah, you. Boring is easy.
Everybody can be boring. But you're gooder than that.
Life is not a game people. Life isn't a cereal either. (Well, it is a cereal).
And if life is a game, are we on the same team? I mean really, right?
I'm on your team; be on my team.
This is life, people. You got air coming through your nose; you got a heartbeat.
That means it's time to do something.
A Poem: Two roads diverged in the woods, and I took the road less traveled...
and it hurt, man! Really bad! Rocks, thorns, and glass...my pants broke! Why?
Not cool, Robert Frost.
But what if there were really two paths?
I would want to be on the one that leads to awesome.
Just like that dude Journey said, "Don't stop believing...unless your dream is stupid, then you should get a better dream." I think that's how it goes.
Get a better dream, then keep going, keep going, keep going.
What if Michael Jordan had quit? (Well he did quit. No, he retired. Yeah, that's right; he retired.) But before that, in high school, what if he quit when he didn't make the team? He would've never made Space Jam. And I love Space Jam.
What will be your Space Jam? What will you create that will make the world awesome? Nothing, if you keep sitting there. That's why I'm talking to you today. This is your time. This is my time. This is our time.
We can make every day better for each other. But if we are on the same team, let's start acting like it. We go work to do. We can cry about it or we can dance about it. We were made to be awesome. Let's get out there!
I don't know everything. I'm just a kid. But I do know this: It's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance. So get to it!
You've just been pep talked.
Create something that will make the world awesome. Play ball."
Well, now that I left you with that pep talk. It is time for me to go listen to my weekly It Works Peptalk!
Oh by the way, I am in a contest that ends tomorrow. If I sign up 2 loyal customers before tomorrow evening then I will get some awesome prizes. So if you are interested in ANYTHING It Works, let's talk today (or tomorrow) lol. :)
Alright guys. Have a great night. Be thankful. Life your life. Help others. And BE KIND!!!!
Please pray for our world. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always always pray for my sweet Elijah.
Hi sweet boy.
