Practicing What I Preach


Hola,

The song I can’t seem to get enough of these days: Situations by Keyshia Cole.
In case you were wondering what I am listening to.


Today I suppose I received a test against my positive behavior. For a little while there I seemed to have failed the test. I succumbed to worrying today. Yep, I found myself worrying and thinking negatively. It wasn’t until my mother told me everything would be all right that I decided to let those negative vibes go. The positive journey is a rewarding one but we all fall back a time or two. I am back now. Nothing will break me. I just got a little scared about something today. Then once again my mother was there to lend a helping hand.

I am still a bit shaken but I will be okay. Like I said, nothing will break me. I will slip off the glasses of worry and slip on my shades of happiness. We all fall off sometimes. It’s just like fighting an addiction. You can kick the habit but at times you still get withdrawal pains. I’m human after all. I must remind myself and stop trying to be perfect. I will stop listening to percentages and scenarios. Just because something happened to others does not mean it will happen to us. We must let go of that negativity. It’s when we start doubting ourselves and worrying without cause that brings on a most of our problems.

Now saying that, I am free, LOL! I came face to face with a test. I may have slipped a little there with my positive thinking but its back now. I will let all the worries go. After all, I have a lot to be thankful for. I will stop listening to things that “ might “ and
“ could “ happen and focus on things that do. I will continue to practice what I preach.

I’m happy again.

Now let me get back to this Keyshia CD. I can’t get enough of her and the latest Faith Evans. I’m playing these CDs so much I’m surprised they haven’t broken yet. LOL!


Adios,

Bootsy

Glad you are back on a posotive note. We all have our moments where we let things get the best of us, but that is why we need to surround ourselves around positive people so that when we get down, they can give us encouraging words to bring us back to the positive side. And thank God for mamas!!!!! They are the true back bone to most families. Keep smiling, it was only a test!

Oh and thanks for stopping by my blog.

We all have moments where negativity takes over. We all fall down, but we also get back up. Its all a part of life. Keep ya head up and smile, because you've passed the test! You're still standing!
