Not so long ago a friend told me 🗣not to worry about people who don't want to spend time with me...even if they're family.👨👩👧👧
That's hard for me because I'm always wanting to arrange some meet up...📍I always want to be invited. 💌If I'm not invited then I wonder why and sometimes cycle into a black hole of toxic self-reflection.
I almost did that this week...but instead I chose not to dwell on any PERCEIVED snubbs. 🤦🏽♀️ The weekend turned out great. I didn't see the people I thought I'd see but I had a great time with my husband, the dog got to come, and I saw plenty of people who I DID NOT expect to see.
All my husband wants is for me to have a good time...🤵🏾👰🏽I love having fun and I can't believe I get to be married to someone who has fun helping me to have fun.
I saw my dear mother who I cherish more than words could say even though she pushes all of my buttons🤯 Most people feel like their mom is the best and we're all right. 😉
I saw my bonus granny who gave me the longest hug ... 🤗 I'm not a hugger but she's one of the people who I expect a hug from. It felt like she really needed that hug.
For the 2nd weekend in a row I ran into and sat next to my sister in church. 👩🏽🤝👩🏿 I always thought she and I would be best friends and today's sermon got me to thinking maybe one day we will be..🙏
I got to meet the newest member of my immediate family 👶🏽 and I love him already even though he waited to 💩poop when I was holding him. I took that to mean that he felt comfortable and relaxed in my arms 🤷🏽♀️ His parents (my cousins), their other kids, AND his sister (my cousin/bff) were at the house. That turned out to be an awesome visit.
Then we zipped over to my father's cousin's house.🚘 She had randomly checked in on me earlier in the day. She and her husband have always made me feel loved. We chatted about current events, caught up on each other's lives, and discussed practical ways to help the homeless that do not put us in danger
