Baby Bags set to go

Blessings one and all, I look out my window at 6:22 am. The sky is bright and so incredible. My bank account has $3.23 cents in it. I just sent it to a bill. Hip hip happy me. I am almost done with that bill. $63 more to go. I have been awake for about an hour now. My mind is focused on having a productive day.

I have gone through a really tough few months. I had to break free from a few people. Mentally they drained me of all my power and strength. I am living below the poverty level. and grinding to get my life in a better way. and making no excuses just pushing forward. I have been working hard to get shays_creations in a good way.

I take my blessings however they come. I strive to be helpful and kind day in and day out. Kindness is free. sharing is caring. Giving is making me happy. When you have people around you that smoke drugs and drink adult drinks. Shop till they drop and kick the door down to that hair shop. That is all fine and well. Then here goes little oh me. Grinding to pay my bills. Can't buy a pair of jeans above $10 at a second-hand store. Which is actually shut down due to flooding.

My phone was ringing so often. Can I do this? and can I do that? I got so overwhelmed with darkness. I contemplated taking a bottle of pills and not waking up. I got on the phone and made some mental health appointments. I put a stop to the abuse of my mental and it helped. I would not manage from day to day without my mental support staff.

I am working up a storm in here preparing for the Spring sales. I have bills and nothing more on my mind. I would love a weekend away trust me. But deep in my mind my bed is my best vacation spot. I have chosen to spend the Summer alone to the best of my ability. I want to grind hard and just read on here. Share in the love and life uplifting that others have.

No blaming of others for what one's life has become. We all have a struggle in life. We have to face it for our own betterment. Blaming others and making excuses won't solve it. I tell people all the time. Pay $3 on a bill before you buy a soda and chips. In the long run, you will be better off. I am tired of working my fingers off and having others come to me to solve their problems.

I live a frugal life because I love having the power to survive on the little I have. I want more so I am grinding for it. I just don't want to stand on the corner to get it. Today is a beautiful day. I am hoping you and I get to enjoy it. I am going to get up and clean out my silverware drawer. Finish washing my house rags. No paper towels for me. And message an online friend to see if she could use a few greeting cards. Free of charge. Sharing is caring.

I just looked out the window again. 6:40 am the shades of blue and the far away light. What on earth do we really want more than that? Food shelter and joy from one person to another. As your walking about your day. Look around at all the beauty that surrounds you. Look at the seniors holding hands. The babies drooling and just hold your head high. Life is for the living and the loving. shays_creations says so.
