right now is just good
i don't have any drama i have no compliants none of that...
in fact yesterday i spent with my mother and it was the first time that funds fully allowed me to go all out for my mom...not that i need a special day because mother's day, father's day, all that should be year round...especially since the good book tells us to "honor thy father and thy mother and all your days shall be long...."
but it was nice to pay for her hair to get done, buy her some pearl earrings, take her to Sequia's for dinner...but the thing that i think mattered most was that i surprised at church and just spent the entire day with her! materialistic stuff is nice, but she is simple (that's where i get that side from) and i knew that going to church with her (the church i was raised in baptized in will one day, Lord say so, get married in) would be the best gift...she was surprised and happy...
she said to me "this is the best mother's day thus far" made my heart melt...because mother's so rarely get to just have a day for themselves where they are just loved on all day...we get it all the time...so i am going to make it a point to try even harder to love on my momma...i do it now just think its time to do it more...it just feels good to make her happy!
after the day and sitting a looking out on the Potomac while eating that afternoon...i went to Allen's Pond in Bowie...
now granted i have been there before but i have never gone to exercise...don't know why, but since i have MY hair out and not working out isn't an option, i figured that it was such a wonderful day, not to hot, not to cold, nice breeze...i wouldn't sweat my hair out...so i went and i loved it!
i just watched people...you all know i like to people watch...
i saw all kinds of wonderful families celebrating, couples out and about doing picnics, a man BBQin for his as he said "honey so she can have a good mother's day" yes i am noisy and listened to him say that to someone else...LOL
but it just made me happy and smile because the news the media the world LIFE would have you to believe that there isn't any love or concern for others out here but there really is...
i also have really determined that i must keep reevaluating my current goals and keep taking small steps to get to the point where i feel like ican be...i definitely want to set my sights on where i want to be when i am 30 now mind you...i don't think "goals" is the right word but i just want to say okay where at this point in this time and space do i really want to be in my life and let it fall where it falls
but like Frederick Douglas stated "if you fail to plan, play to fail" so right now with about a year and a half until that date i need to map something out...
i am ready though for whatever lovely things that come my way...all positive vibes all that GREAT stuff
