Thanks for bringing this to my attention

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

 -Anais Nin

Over the last 24 hours I have heard from 3 different friends who happen to read my stuff on a daily basis.

Each of them expressed some concern that my writing has taken a turn of late.

As one dear friend and fraternity brother pointed out"

I am reaching out to you because I have not seen negativity come from you ........ever. Therefore, I sense that you feel life is pummeling you.  

This is kind of what I heard from my two other friends as well.

My response is.......thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I have been feeling dark.

I have been feeling defeated.

I have given up hope.

And that's just not who I am.

Yes, I am frustrated.

Yes,I am feeling as if I have no control over the circumstances surrounding my life.

Yes, the creative side of me,the biggest side of me,is at a complete standstill .

I am really tired of NO!

Hanging on,waiting and idly sitting by are not my strongest attributes!

I am a big believer in "DO SOMETHING!"

Yesterday's accomplishments are there for one purpose and one purpose only......to be built upon.

It is time for "What's next!".

I do appreciate my friends for shining a light on how I am showing up.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

And my attention is what this situation will now have to deal with!
