Happy Monday everyone. I tell ya time
seems to fly right by. This is Spring Break season, which means that most are
experiencing it right now or soon will be. I hope many of you get a much needed
vacay somewhere lovely, of course. I will admit, I am ready to hit the road and
see some sights myself.
I have to really pay attention to
this tricky weather. One day may be cold and rainy- finding yourself singing
the hook off of EMPIRE’s, Hakeem Lyon’s song, “Drip Drop Drip Drippy Drop” or hot and humid the next. No matter
the weather most women can’t wait to hit up the nail salon for Mani/Pedi,
strutting around in barely-there clothes, hair and nails done. And how can you
blame them? And
the men in the barber shops getting that fade or locs tighten up or getting his
car or gear right, ha! You know what I’m talking about…. It’s tempting.
I could not just let these last
several days roll around without taking advantage….I found myself getting a
good workout in. The workout location of choice was Piedmont Park but believe
me I have many places and guess what? It’s totally free! Just
have a descent pair of shoes, music that drives you and for extra benefit, use weights,
rope etc. Nothing against those
who have a gym membership- don’t cancel those just yet. Seeing various people
of all ages being active gives me all the boost I need. Many describe the
location as a little Central Park (New York) or a mild Venice Beach
(California)….but without the beach, ha!
I love seeing older people twice my age walking or
running faster and even passing me, lol. Hey can’t knock them, they’re getting
it in. Most of the time someone or group are always playing instruments,
singing- some form of entertainment. Plenty of activities going on like: bike
riding-roller blading-frisbee throwing-yoga groups etc….it’s all there and then
some. Let’s not forget the mini lake and the beautiful city as the back drop. Production
companies continuously film there- movies but especially reality television
shows.
I love checking out various locations
around the city or any place for that matter. It’s amazing the many places you
can find enough inspiration to light up your day. What truly motivates you? How
do you view things? Not all views are pleasurable but it’s how you view
yourself, your life and the people around you. Many would trade places in a
flash if they could. It’s always someone in a worse situation- making yours
look like a cake walk.
Be grateful and appreciate the
everyday things in life. Build memories, surround yourself with like-minded
positive true people who mean well. Become a better version of yourself than
you were yesterday. No matter what you do in life, there will always be someone
out there who won’t understand or get it. They may bully or judge- not truly seeing
your worth. In other words, you can’t please everyone nor will everyone be
supportive. What’s meant for you ‘WILL’
be for you, so stay on your grind whatever it may be and do what makes you
happy. The more you do may shine bright and illuminate someone else’s day (or
life in general).
Have a great one!
