Who's Know's What A Day Will Bring?

WHO KNOW'S WHAT A DAY WILL BRING? I was full of energy this morning when my eyes opened I immediately acknowledged my Father in heaven and thanked him for waking me up. In my head I was singing "Happy Sunday" to me in the tune of the Birthday song; I was eager and ready to take on the challenges of the day. "Bring it on." It was time for my "LIVE STREAM" ACT LIKE A SUCCESS CLASS. To start my day I had to release the warm covers that cradled me. It would have been easy to stay in bed but as I looked at what lay before me I had to get moving. I watched some of the morning News just to stay current on world events. I was taken around the world and back in thirty minutes I had my dose of the not so good news for the day. I was ready to make my own News and undaunted at the task that lay before me. As a writer and caregiver each day had its own challenges. I made a decision nine years prior to take care of my Mother who suffered from the debilitating efforts of a stroke. I’ve held various high profile corporate jobs but nothing could prepare me for one of the toughest jobs in the world care-giving, it’s physically and emotionally challenging. My Mom needs twenty four hour around the clock care, its a weighty responsibility with the daily challenges and duties, it would make the average person pull the covers back over their head. After reviewing my workout options I throw on my sweats pants grabbed a old t-shirt. I had no interest in my extensive DVD exercise collection my body wanted to go in one direction but my head said get moving. With a full schedule before me there was no time to be idle. I acknowledged the self-talk in my head and put a smile on my face with tennis shoes in hand it was time to get moving. I cracked open the front door the Sun felt warm and pleasant to my face. As I walked through the neighborhood I took in the sights and sounds around me. I took a long deep breath, watching my chest rise and fall ingesting the crisp morning air. This was my "Happy Sunday." Cars and Trucks were racing passed me as if I were walking to slow. Everybody seemed to be in a hurry but I kept up my unhurried pace. Sunday is the beginning of very long and challenging week. It's still my "Happy Sunday" my to-do-list will be there Monday with e-mails to answer, deadlines to meet and calls to return. I was preparing my mind to get ready to meet every challenge head on. With my energy level high from the "Act Like A Success Think Like A Success notes from the second day of the conference I felt like I had a battery pack strapped on I feeling supercharged! Perhaps it was the prayer's I prayed the night before or quite possibly the full night’s rest? Could it be my exercise endorphin's in overdrive? Either way I was pumped ready to take full advantage of my extra energy and nothing was going to get in my way. As the morning turned to early afternoon I was in the zone. Out of the blue a private number appeared on my telephone. I politely answered the call and I asked who was speaking, the caller respected my question and immediately answered. The moment I heard the voice my antenna went up. I knew who I thought it could be but I wanted to be absolutely certain. I allowed the caller to talk briefly. "Mr" quick began to run down his resume, he talked about regaining his good health, new money, new ventures and others money making opportunities I was not impressed! The caller shared how he’d found faith and he wanted to share his joy with me. After 14years? Really?! Let me shut it down. Dr. Steve Harvey said during the conference you'll have to shut some people down and keep the negative people out of your life. There are those who will try and hinder your dreams. There comes a times when you will have to get rid of and block people from your life. Yes, that happened. I declined his advances repeated dinner invite and congratulated "Mr" on his new found path. But, I wasn’t buying what he was selling. He went on to say how I deserved his gifts and dinner invitation. At one point he was just annoying, he apologized again for many tearful events he caused years before. I stopped him mid sentence as my mind reflected back on the relationship and painful break-up. The events of the past were just that! They had passed and had become only a distance memory, I remember the life lesson learned I told "Mr" all has been forgiven and I had moved on. As he talked I broke out in laughter and politely told him never to call me again. NUMBER BLOCKED "Who knows what a day will bring?" I recognized through the laughter I was healed! "Mr" was certainly trying to intrude on my Happy Sunday. No amounts of cash, jewelry, seductive weekend getaway could persuade me otherwise. My God given Vision has been set before me as and open door. "Mr" was now a complete stranger to me. The voice on the other end of the phone was part of my past history and had nothing to do with the bright future they lay ahead. “I'm having a beautiful bountiful Sunday."
