"High on Life"

I get like this….. “High on Life”! I went out walking for an hour! I realized I was using all my senses, I could feel the wind touching my body (made the hair stand up on my arms), the sun was out warm against my skin, mmmmm the fragrances of the flowers as I walked by and just an all around beautiful day.

The endorphins were being released as I walked faster and faster. I was feeling so good I wanted to SKIP!!! LOL….I was walking taking this all in with a huge smile on my face…It made me think of the movie “Rocky” when he ran up the steps and danced around….I WANTED TO DO THIS WITH MY ARMS RAISED UP IN THE SKY….I STARTED TO DO IT!!!

THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW ALL THE "PEOPLE" IN THE CARS WOULD HAVE THOUGHT…LOOK AT THIS CRAZY LADY!!!!! LOL

If they only knew where I came from and how AWESOME it felt to just be able to walk “UP HILLS” and for an HOUR and not even feel tired! I could have gone even further, but unfortunately….I had things to do at home…bummer…Ok, back down to the real world!

What makes you “High on Life!!!

"Because" by TD Jakes

A very sweet friend of mine sent this to me....and I just had to share it!

So often people have this a little voice in their heads that whispers things to them. So many times this voice is whispering negative things. Things that we would never allow anyone else to say to us. We need to be kind to ourselves. Say kind things to ourselves.

Perhaps get up in the morning and look at ourselves in the mirror and purposefully say something nice to ourselves. We need to learn to love ourselves! Please enjoy.....



Because

BY TD Jakes


Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are,

doesn't mean you shine any less.


Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped,

doesn't stop you from being the best.


Just because no one has come along to share your life,

doesn't mean that day isn't coming.


Just because no one has made this race worthwhile,

doesn't give you permission to stop running.


Just because no one has realized how much of an awesome woman you are,

doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.


Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level,

doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.


Just because you deserve the very best there is,

Doesn't mean that life is always fair.


Just because God is still preparing your king,

Doesn't mean that you're not already a Queen.


Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now,

doesn't mean you need to change a thing.


Keep shining, keep running, Keep hoping, and keep praying,

Keep being exactly what you are already.

COMPLETE!!


Send this on to your female friends who need to keep on doing what they do best.


BEING A WOMAN OF GOD!
