Your toughest days either make you strong or prove you already were.

Glutton For Punishment
There are times when I start drafting a blog post and want to just hit the delete button. I used to enjoy writing in WordPress before so many changes (aka block format). I’d actually give more time to my blog, sometimes resulting in longer pieces sharing more of my life and personal thoughts, as well as inspirational text. Now, in addition to figuring how best to phrase my words in a given post, I cuss from the frustration of having to choose effective formatting. Thankfully I don’t publish all the words that go into me creating a post! Were these changes made to better accommodate human input or that of some automated marketing process utilized by big companies and “power” bloggers? My brain is tired and this battle between WP and me may soon need a referee.
Even though it sounds like I’ve reached the end of the road with WP, I’m sure I’ll be back tomorrow. Ugh!

Gotta Play to Win
Sometimes in this game called life, unexpected issues will balk your good intentions, tempting you to become volatile or run away—“fight or flight.” Then you realize neither response would do much to solve the problem, so you develop a system in which you own the situation by shifting your life in whatever way necessary to help you move forward. We’ve all played this past year and we’re winning!

Let It Go!
Forgive the hurt, release your pain
Embrace the here and now today
No looking back, without delay
Create your joy and then maintain
Harmony’s pleasing to attain
Have peace of mind around the clock
Euphoric state will be a shock
Decide to change your condition
Right here, right now, grant permission
Free the emotional gridlock

Her Courage Matters (Décima)
Family doomed right from the start
Plain and simple, Dad likes to roam
Pain he causes pervades the home
And Mom contains her broken heart
Safety denied, she plays it smart
Tried to escape his angry scorn
Long before a third child was born
But now the coast and skies are clear
With turbo speed, they flee in fear
Reaching the runway plane next morn
Not every woman’s story can be told, so for this day in Women’s History Month I’m recognizing those whose plight remains unknown but their strength and courage is empowering.
