Freestyle Fridays

Happy Friday Morning.

Yeah, I limped out the gate with that one. lol

I'm so happy it's Friday!

And it is Payday!

Glory!

I get to pay bills today!

*backflips*

LOL

This has been an odd week. Work has me completely discombobulated. I cannot STAND working on what we are working on. Depresses me. I was talking to my boss yesterday about the archaic methods we are using.

"These methods are old! They were hot when Earth Wind and Fire was the hot group! "

LOL

Let's just say I like innovative techniques. Just the frickin' scientist in me.

So that's got me a bit disturbed. No big deal.

Folks better have my paycheck right. That is all.

Quotes of the week: From a couple of wise Original Oldgirls.

"I am not without grace. I am in a storm that seems to want to swallow me and grace is reaching for me...always." Lovebabz

I have the power to create my reality. Peace can be my reality. Chele.

These resonated with me, and have been on my mind since I read them. I won't expound on them. The ladies statements were a blessing to me. And I'll just let you ponder those.

Friday Food-for-Thought. The whole Lebron James thing bothered me.

And not in the way that you would think.

I'm not that light in the head where I would worry about what city and state a man I don't know bounce a basketball in.

No, it makes me thing about approval.

And if you don't do what people think you should be doing, whether that be supporting their motives and agenda, or whatever.

Jokers get mad with you.

Happens all the time. Check your own life. You don't even have to go back that far.

You have caught a case, i.e. people done fell out with your ass, because you had a mind of your own and you made the best decision for you and those who depend on you.

Period.

Is that right?

No.

And if you haven't gone through that, then you must not be paying attention.

Because I get my head busted for it. I'm considered this awful awful person because of it. I even have to deal with weird passive aggressive crap because of it.

But one thing still stands, and becomes more ingraned the older I get:

I am my own person and I will continue to do my best to make decisions that bring about a sense of peace and progress.

A key to me knowing that I'm doing the right thing boils down to this:

"If I do this, what will people say?"

Yep. That means I'm on the right track. Me being worried of how I will be criticized when I'm trying to do what's best for me is a clue that I need to trash the worry and GO FORWARD.

So Lebron, do you. You don't drop cash on my mortgage. My livelihood ain't dependent on you. Dude, you don't even know my name. I wasn't around when you didn't have a penny in your pocket. I'm not there and will never be there when you feel hurt or pain or when you cry, either.

I saw people burning his jerseys in the streets. Wow. Really. I guess it made them feel better. You paid 50 bucks for that jersey. That's at least a couple of hours of work on the job for some people. Hell, it may take some people a whole 8 hour work day just to make that much.

Hmmm...

Just a thought.

I'll stop ranting.

Don't mind me. I'm in a janky mood.

And maybe it's just that I'm not a diehard basketball fan.

Maybe it's just that I'm a fan of you being your own person and living your life for you and yours.

Whelp! With that said:

Ya'll have a GREAT weekend. ON PURPOSE!!
