Act like today is all you GOT!
This morning I chose to rise up with a smile because today is all we have!
When I went to bed last night, my nerves were a wreck. I felt like I couldn’t take as deep of a breath as I needed. I switched from being hot to cold, sad to happy, and in the end, depressed. I tried hard to hold myself together, but I felt like I was losing a good fight. So I closed my eyes and just prayed. It was an intimate conversation between my God and me.
He gave me what I needed to get through the night. I felt his presence with me all night. I felt like a 5-year-old who had just had a traumatic experience and needed to be in her father’s arms.
A type of Father that makes you feel safe when he is near. No one can touch you and harm you.
I slept like a baby, and when I woke up, I felt like sunshine. When I rose, I didn’t need to open my blinds and feel the warm air hitting my skin. As I lifted my window, I didn’t need to smell fresh life— waking up was enough. I was enough!
It has been quite some time since I felt like this. I slowly feel myself coming back. I don’t know what tomorrow will hold, and for the first time, I don’t care. The only thing that I’m concerned about is today. This moment is mine, and I’m grateful for that.
No matter who you are or what may be heavy on your spirit, I pray you to get up. Find peace because when you find peace, hope and joy are around the corner.
So get up and act like today is all we got!
How are you looking after yourself today?

Thank you Dawn! I fell right to sleep and was so peaceful.
Gosh, I was just talking to a friend of mine about this. When we are going through the most painful moments, sometimes just getting out of bed and taking that next step, no matter where it takes us, is all we can do, and is all we need. Poweful and inspirational are you, always! 💖💖
Thank you Jeff!
Getting up can be the hardest thing you do. Jeff thank you for sharing this with me. I would love to hear more. This would be a great topic for my future podcast.
You’re most welcome, Belladonna! Always. Yes, indeed, getting up can be. I would share more with you anytime. 🙂 Oh, I would love to hear one of your podcasts too. Are those live now?
Jeff I think you are going to be a future guest! If you’ll except the invitation.
They will be live this Friday🙌🏽🙌🏽😍😍😍 send a prayer my way please. I’m super excited and nervous 😬
THAT is the question: “How are you looking after yourself today?” I wish I had an universal answer, but each day is so different, isn’t it? Still I’ll say that I got up, decided to be kind to myself and other people, and will do my best to let Karma take care of the other stuff.
Everyday is sooooo different and there are times that you feel like yoouaaare battling one thing after another. But we have to get up aand do the best we can and yes let Karma take care of the rest!
Just get up! Today is all we got! Girlfriend, sounds like you found a peace that surpasses all understanding! I can certainly relate. Thanks for sharing your epiphany with us Belladonna! 🌞💐🌞💖🌞🐱🏍🌞
