Fall Feelings

I love the fall season with all my heart..I truly do, but with it sometimes comes feelings of despair. It’s that wonderful time of the year when everyone, well mostly everyone is looking forward to the holidays. They’re planning trips back home, office parties and friendsgiving at their homes. There’s a lot of pressure to fit into the overall scheme of things, and that can be very daunting for some, myself included. I’ve been single for a few years now, and most of the time I love it, BUT I’d be dead lying if I didn’t say there were times when I wish I was booed up (colloquialism for having a significant other) lol.

Although I go through this brief moment of FOMO, when it comes to having a life partner during the holiday season, I know that God is prepping him right now, just like he’s prepping me. I also know that if there’s any truth in the saying, that we are attracted to, or matched with someone that mirrors ourselves, then there’s quite a bit of work to do on us both, I’m just saying. So while all this prepping and grooming is going on, I’m so blessed to have two awesome grown children, and some really good people in my life..I’m good.

I’m always concerned about those who are not as fortunate as myself. The people who don’t have any children, or good friends and family..the ones who are ill or suffering from depression, those are the people that I try to seek out and uplift. Sometimes it might be that person in my life that appears to always have it together, or it might be a total stranger on the street. In these trying times, my hope is that everyone takes a moment out of their busy, blessed lives to help someone else. It doesn’t always mean monetary gifts..a kind word is like gold. Tis the season to be mindful!
