    Hi-ho and hello.

    Ever have those times when you feel that you have everything sussed out, that it’s all on the right path? But thepp n one small little rift happens leaving you lacking appendages, emotion, a string of cognitive thought, may it be.

    Ever realize how much that small rift is so comparable to that of a butterflies flapping wings, and yet you’re outside of oneself trying to grasp at the straws unseen?

    Now, I understand this may seem negative, but check this out.

    Those rifts, regardless of size, are points of adversity that leave you to an option of sorts. These options are boundless and infinite, plus they’re yours. You have a choice.

    Knowing that and looking at your life and the past in a minimalist fashion, when faced with adversity what did you do. Did you drive through it towing over the issues? Or did you ignore it altogether? Now, as mentioned, these options are boundless and have a myriad of choices. What do you choose?

    C’est La Vie

    Good night and good morning, good morning and good night. Thank you for your support. Thank you for the kindness and may your life be beautiful. May there be life and love before you to cherish.

    Week one is about to be done and wrapped; I am still awaiting my Passion Planner for the new year, hoping to put some new ideas, new projects and aim as high as possible. Tracks that will likely be on repeat are Best Foot Forward by Dj Shadow, Nothing Thought by Sonnymoon, lots of The Hics, Ludovico Einaudi with the likes of sporadic Tash Sultana sprinklings off and on.

    There comes though the Labrador-happy-go-lucky style in me that still wants to take each day as a. New one with the hopes that each move I make has intention, each decision the same, and the hope that I know I lived the best day of that day since I was born. Whether there is a call for happiness, knowledge or splendor, as long as I put that best foot forward what can go wrong right?

    Funny to think while I write these words Johnny Nash’s I Can See Clearly Now is belting into my ears and I can’t help to smile. Because the more I’ve found the trying times and the struggles of those oversized and burning hoops we see us jumping through, are a call to the adversities we’re faced with. Can you jump through? Can you see yourself making it unscathed? At times I can and other times I feel I can’t but know eventually I have to see if that wall can be broken.

    We as humans seem to aim for bliss but I’ve found no matter how happy, if I’m not challenged, I become complacent and jaded. and though I can’t remember recent reports skimmed and looked into, we’re not meant to be happy all the time, at least were supposed to learn through the challenges we’re faced with.

    And thinking of it, I think it’d make me sick after so long of feeling as though it’s a stepford wife mock-up. Id rather be challenged, test me. Push me. I’d rather gain and learn than stay in that limbo.

    Signing out. Thank you and have a good morning or night.
