Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself.”

Good morning. While your circumstances are sometimes beyond your control, your character is not. God is Love Rev Run So, as a wrap up the to pre-holiday drama Miss Thang didn't even show up.  Didn't call or anything.

Perhaps that is why I am feeling the way I do. I had an "in your face" moment which some might classify as an "ah-ha" moment today. I had a friend basically jump up in my face (not literally) about my issues. Here's what I've come to realize over the past year: I've got issues, as well as subscriptions.
