Yourself.
Your resourcefulness. Your intelligence and ability to express yourself. Your desire for a better world. Your empathy and compassion for the suffering of others. Your instinct. Your survival.
You have what so many do not.
Start with you.
I did, and it made my life better.
I understand now. My take on the conversation was a discussion about gratefulness in the face of need, want, and absence of a higher power.
I'm truly sorry my reply appeared so dismissive.
I sincerely apologize. I made a false assumption regarding the subject matter of your comments.
It also helps to reframe the narrative. I don't believe the world wants us dead. I believe it's a small, loud group and that we have more allies than enemies. I'm grateful for that support. Just an example.
It takes work, application, and time. It's stepping out of our skin and seeing the world through a different lens. Gratitude isn't mandatory, nor does it wipe away the past. Gratitude doesn't eliminate the hatred in the world, but it motivates me to be a helper and not see myself as a victim.
Good morning, beautiful people.
Happy Saturday!
I'm grateful for this view.
I hope you have all you need, most of what you want, love and peace in your heart, and today brings you happiness and gratitude. You are brilliant and loved.
Be good. Be kind.
XO
My gratitude stems from healing, not faith. Embracing gratitude, even in times of need, want, and despair, helped me to recognize that every day is a new opportunity. Even shitty days. I started there and soon began to feel more acceptance, hope, and optimism. It's a process, and takes practice.
A tad bold when you roll in there at 0430.๐ตโ๐ซ
Hope you're enjoying your day.

The thunder and lightning show have come to a sleepy crawl. The storm has passed. Only the sound of gentle rain on the windows remains. 03:57.
I'm cozy and snuggled and going back to sleep. Good morning, lovelies. See you soon.๐ด

You've likely helped more people than you could ever know. Without a doubt, others will see their story in yours.
Thank you so much for your truth.
Good morning, beautiful people.
Welcome to "Unf*ck Yourself Friday."
Mistakes are not failures. They are f*cks we no longer have to give. Being wrong means you made an effort. Being wrong is another opportunity to learn.
Don't be afraid to f*ck up. It's how we grow.
Have the day you need.

That, and she's an arrogant, narcissistic, entitled, delusional, has been, publicity-addicted c*nt. Let's not forget that part.
"Candlelight: Coldplay and Imagine Dragons" tonight, where an amazingly talented string quartet performed beautiful renditions of 12 hits.
My favorites? "Fix You" and "Viva La Vida"

Good morning, beautiful people.
Happy Thursday!
Never underestimate the value of kindness. We're all just doing our best not to get hit by the shit. Be good, do good, and share your smile and laughter.
Have the day you need.

Lovely birthday dinner with friends last night. I am a fortunate man. Blessed, loved, and grateful.
Yep. My first car had an 8-track. Had to replace it three times because people kept breaking in to steal it. My first 8-track: "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac.
One of my top 10 favorites.
