Strike Out for Single Mom Striking Out - LOL

By
Yesterday was a day of full-throttle for me. From morning right down to the evening, I was everywhere, doing everything. Even when I felt like crashing, I kept telling myself that I can do it. I have it in me to do it. Complete it and THEN rest.

I think that's what's wrong with our societies and lives.

We breach the limit and try to reach new heights (it's not a bad thing) too fast (THAT's the bad thing).

Today, it came crashing down on me. My body is weak, I feel cold, a shiver is always a short shudder away, my brain is muddled up and I can't seem to concentrate.

It has become one of those days.

The thing is that, with society being all about the hustle, isn't crashing after pushing yourself too hard an acceptable human thing? It's normal for my body to react to the sudden adrenaline rush and influx of activities this way.

This is normal. This is what being a human being is all about. Sometimes when we're gung-ho and accomplish many things, our bodies tell us to 'Stop, what the fuck ya doing? Stop, man'.

At least that's what my inner voice is tell me.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
