My 365...

Would you like to know what really upsets me? Makes my blood boil, keeps me up at night, makes me doubt myself and what my life us all about? Absolutely nothing. :-)

Blake and I decided to take a LONG bike ride today. Let me paint a picture for you...

67°f, Crystal clear blue skies. The kind of sky that is so blue, it does not seem real.

Riding down the greenbelt which is lined by trees on both sides, of the most brilliant colors and fragrances.

Clear cold turquoise blue/green waters rushing down the river that create the most amazing, refreshing, cool breeze.

15 miles of nothing but nature's remarkable beauty.

Blake, my precious youngest son. A young man who is full of adventure, fun, curiosity and love with just the right mix of little stinker and mischief.

People enjoying the same awesome goodness that I am. People who smile as you pass them. People who seem not to have a care in the world.

What in my life could possibly bring me sadness and pause? Not a thing.

The people that are in my life right now. My husband, my sons, Kori, Amber, my grandson Cooper, my aunts Magdalena and Rita, Jack's family, my nephews, my nieces, my cousins, my amazing friends from all over the world, are in my life because they want to be. Something in my spirit, welcomes their spirit sincerely and honestly. And people who know and love me, know that I love and cherish them with every single sincere and honest cell in my being. This makes my heart happy. This is real.

The people who are not in my life right now, are not there because they choose not to be. They do not see my spirit, my heart, who I really am, therefore they choose to remain outside of my world. THEY have decided that for whatever reason, I am not real, I am not good enough, I am not worthy.

You know what planet? I am okay with that. That is 100 percent perfectly A-Okay with me. No hard feelings. No judgement. No sadness. No regret. Because you see MY life is full. My life is complete. I welcome everyone into my world, but I will not force anyone to be in my world because ultimately that darkens my spirit. I love you, I see you. You are free to continue to live your life the way you see fit, and I am gloriously free to continue to live mine. I will never compromise my life, and I certainly would never demand that you compromise yours. If your life is working for you...awesome.

Life goes on, and it is a beautiful gift. A gift that I will never take for granted.

What upsets me? What keeps me up at night worrying and wondering and judging myself? Absolutely nothing. And honey, you can take that to the bank, deposit it, and earn a ton of interest!

I had a happy Sunday planet, and I hope you did too. This day was awesome, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for tomorrow and the week ahead because I know it is going to be freaking amazing! :)

Have a great Monday.

We did it! Blake and I started this month's biking adventure on April 14th. I told Blake I wanted to get at least 60 miles in by the end of the month. As of today...we have! Yay Blake! :)

Today's wonderful biking adventure.
