Good morning bloggers,
It has been a whirlwind, but I’ve been busy with work & on occasion check on my family & still trying to focus on returning to grad school. My daily routine has been derailed by COVID-19 for the last couple of weeks! So, I have quarantined myself, & only go out when necessary: shopping, work & occasionally dropping off stuff to my grandson & new granddaughter, whom I have yet to meet in person! Needless to say I have ample time to think about things & y’all know that this beeeitch can overthink allot of things.
So, lately I started my journey to self trust, which begins with self awareness & evolves to self love then eventually self-trust. I began this journey by reading this book that was recommended by one of my work babies. After reading just a few chapters, I was enlightened! The title of the book is Trust by Iyanla Vazant. It instructs you to look @ your past, & I have, & alls I can say is that I have nothing but good things to remember, well they definitely out weigh the bad things. Being a good mother is one of the roles of my life that I am extremely proud of. Now that my children are grown it has been nice to reflect on all the memories, accomplishments & tribulations that we survived as a family. I look forward to see how my grand babies will turn out. I tend to look to my family when I need encouragement, because I have learned that I need to remind myself why I push forward with vigor & tenacity! They are my why, the fact that I now have grandchildren makes me push harder! And although it has been 6 weeks since I have seen most of my, I continue to push myself.
My youngest had to move out to keep his job, so now, it’s just me & my nephew, whom I raised. And although I work allot of night shifts due to the shortage of critical care nurses, I have made my nephew feel like he lives with a zombie!
This pandemic has made me realize how much I depend on them for my strength & will to move forward & push as hard as I do.
I also realized how much I want to be with my significant other. You see, I always pride myself on how self-sufficient & independent I am, but this current situation has reminded me that I am not alone & as a human being I needed to feel vulnerable & be reminded that we all need someone who is there to physically & emotionally support you. In the past I was resistant to the thought of being in an intimate relationship, but I have learned, recently, that having my family & my significant other as a support system has fed into my resilience, hence the title of this entry. So, as always, I leave you with images that fuel my resilience & strength!
Please stay safe!
