I hope y’all are having a good weekend so far! I am sorry in advance, if my post today offends anyone, I am just trying to make sense of what has happened to humanity.

Life has a way of throwing some life alternating changes our way, without any kind of warning! Some of these changes can be detrimental to the way live or they may provide astonishing changes. We all have the ability to recognize that certain things we do, whether it be our diet, exercise or lack thereof, time management, prioritizing, respecting others, making time for family etc, might be suffering slightly. Many people in today’s society get wrapped up in the stresses of work or political drama or reality TV shows, sports or materialistic things that do not matter in the big picture and so many forget what is really important in life.

In my opinion the most important things we have in our life are love, honesty, honor, values, respect and integrity. It makes me so sad when I hear of all that hatred that goes on in the world. So many people are suffering with illness, homelessness and loneliness, I think we just need a little more love and respect. Some people when they see a young person parking in a handicap space or in a wheelchair, there is an automatic stigma attached. I think there needs to be a lot less judgment and a lot more understanding.

With today being Saturday, I only have the rest of today and tomorrow to rest before heading back to work. I am trying to test myself a little today, just to see how much I really can physically and mentally handle before being worn out. This morning I started to clean my house, but I did so in small portions at a time. Cleaning and organizing the house was in a strange way relaxing! 

The only thing I did today, that I promised I was going to avoid, was allow my stress level to increase. After a  phone call I received earlier, I allowed anger and hurt to consume my heart and mind. Even though that did occur, I was able to get out some feelings that were bottled up inside, for a very long time. I actually feel like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Thank you so much for reading my post today! I know some of it was a bit of a rant, but I was just expressing how I am feeling about how I feel humanity is acting lately. I am one that believes strongly in treating everyone equally and with respect! I do believe firmly that trust is something that is earned , not given blindly and when that trust is lost, it is nearly impossible to recover. When I love, I love wholeheartedly and I would do anything for my family! 

If you have any comments, please feel free to leave them and I will respond just as quickly as I can! Also, if you have anything you want to chat about, please email me at alyssabowman81@gmail.com. I hope you have a great evening!!!

Always, Alyssa
