Reality Check?

1/11/16-Reality Check?

Have you ever woke up on any given day and thought…WHAT AM I DOING? I have to say some days I feel like I’m running full speed…but I must be running in circles because my to-do list didn’t shrink it actually grew! How is that even possible?

Some days I have it all together and then the alarm goes off the next morning and I am a disheveled version of who I was the day before. Some say…maybe it’s the “change of life”…well, not for me…No, I’m not in denial…I had the “change of life” come at the early age of 32 when the side effects of cancer decided to alter the natural course of things…but hey…I lived, so all is good!

Why is it we are all walking around attempting to make it look like we ‘got it all going on’? When in reality ‘my all’ on many days ‘got up and went’.

I’m doing my best to be real…to be authentic and to no longer hide behind the ‘everything is okay’ mask and the ‘I’m always happy’ mask. In reality, I really am okay most of the time and I really am happy most of the time…but not all the time. I want to give everyone reading this permission to be real…laugh when something is funny, cry when you have heartache and scream when nothing else seems to work. It’s actually quite liberating…although, I can’t remember the last time I screamed; hmmm…I must be due for that soon…lol!

Let’s begin 2016 with a reality check…be okay with you…embrace your uniqueness and share that with the world…after all God created you to be you…he didn’t create you to be a poor copy of someone else who you think has it ‘all going on’…because chances are…they have days where their ‘all’ has got up and ‘gone’!
