Happy Monday, y’all! I know the weekend went by extremely fast, but I hope you were able to enjoy it as much as possible! I spent my weekend not doing anything too exciting besides cleaning and organizing the house and working on the article for the writing competition. I am sure most people would think I am insane, but I enjoy organizing rooms and closets. If nothing else was accomplished, I am able to see progress when I organize and it makes me feel good! The weather where I live has been very unpredictable. Rain was expected all weekend, but one of the days was semi nice and yesterday it rained all day and was a little chilly!

Today, we must accept the weekend is over and a new workweek is beginning. I know this is not easy, but I guess it happens every week and we all manage! This week is normally difficult for me because Thursday is my late grandfather’s birthday. Instead of being sad all the days leading up to his birthday, I feel his life should be celebrated fully! My late grandfather was one of the BEST people in this world and I carry his memory with me every day. I feel like a lot of the reasons I am who I am is because of who he was, a kind, understanding, compassionate, loving, and fair man with a heart of gold!! My message to y’all today is to enjoy life to the fullest and never take anything or anyone for granted!

I hope your week begins great and continues to get better with each day that passes. Do you have anything going on this week that you are looking forward to or dreading? I have my follow-up appointment with my dentist to make sure I am healing well from the tooth extraction last month. I think everything is healing well so I am not too concerned. I am not a fan of dentists, but the one I went to was good, which could be because she let me have her puppy on my lap. This made my anxiety with the dentist much easier!

Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and the quote helps get you motivated for the rest of the week. Remember to not stress about anything you have no control over and handle everything that happens this week, one at a time! I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa
