Before I dive into this entry, I just want to say that the reason why I wanted to do a 30 day blog challenge is to motivate me to write more and to focus on other things in life other than the stresses in life. And to help me out Brennan is going to give me a prompt each day of the month. So here we go!

Tbh I find it hard to find the positive things going on due to financial stress and feeling insecure about myself. But I’ll do the best I can.

The first positive thing in life is my relationship with Brennan. For those who are new, Brennan is the love of my life, my partner, my best friend, and the man I one day will marry. Since coming back together again in July, we’ve experienced alot of highs and lows due to mental and physical health on both ends. But at the end of the day, we still love each other and choose each other every day. Lately, he has gotten alot better, and went back to his old self prior to the health issues and loss he experienced last Thanksgiving. When will he propose? I have no idea but I’m praying on it.

The next positive thing is my cat June. It kind of makes sense to have Brennan and June on the same wavelength because they are like my family. Even though she’s an only cat and 3 1/2 years old, she brightens my day. She loves loves, always this cuddly kitty. Lately she started sleeping around my mid section instead of at the foot of the bed. I have no idea why she does that but I’m starting to get used to it. And of course, she welcomes me home every night after work and keeps me company while I work out.

When I think of my life outside of work, I think of my church family, the people I look forward to seeing every Sunday. Sure, new people come and some people go but it’s the member that have known me since the beginning, those who knew me best, support me and those I know will always be there. And attending churches always a positive thing. You’re walking into a clear space, a space to start your week off right, and be surrounded with love and grace and community.

And same going for my parents and my best friend of 18 years. But due to time and space, we aren’t as close as we used to, give or take, but they are still considered the most important people in my life, along with the others I have mentioned. And when we do get to see each other, we are connected by the hip for a while and I want to spend as much time with them as possible.

With all the stresses in life, it’s hard to find the positives. But when you have the ones closest to you, they can just make your day even better.
