Good afternoon everyone, hope you are enjoying the beautiful day. Today is High Five Friday, so locate a mirror and give yourself a High Five with a smile and say that you Love yourself and your Higher Power . Then if you would step out of your comfort zone and tell someone else what you did and how it made you feel . Did you do something for yourself yesterday? How did it feel? Did you keep it to just you ? Today’s Word of the Day is Friend. What does the word Friend mean to you ? Are you your own friend? Are you Friends with your Higher Power ? Can some friends be for a Season?

Are you friends with you? Or do you hide , suppress, and cover parts of yourself from you guessed it you ? Can you confide in yourself the good , bad , and ugly ? Before we go on and you answer these questions know this , You are with you right now and have made it through everything you have ever encountered. Now you may not have made it through the way you thought you should have but you 100% made it and need to give yourself credit for that . Regardless of what anyone else has told you in the past you are a Loving, Caring Success ! You cannot change the past nope not at all but you can and should make the decision to live with it while moving forward. You can visit it but just don’t put down a down payment on it because that is not you and truth to be told if you compared it with the Belt of Truth you would find that none of it is correct at all . Now with said how we react , deal with it , work through our past is 100 % our responsibility. A Friend and Community will be there to walk hand and hand with you through it . They will mention when you have strayed off the path even though it causes them discomfort. They will be supportive and encourage. If they have your best interest in mind they will not suggest the wrong path, self destructive behaviors, addictions, compulsive behaviors but at the same time will be supportive and show Grace during these times if you demonstrate them. A friend is a true gift and can be supportive, life changing. If a friend pushes you down get back up and continue forward. If it happens again get back up but keep in mind we are given choices and we get to choose who we walk with and allow to physically, Emotionally, Mentally touch us . If you get up and decide enough is enough and/or this is a vicious cycle stand up get on your feet then progress forward one foot in front of the other and Love this friend from a far . We can’t not change anyone or force them to change. If we have desire to change someone and/ or the behavior they are demonstrating we probably need to ask ourselves why we want to change them ? Are you truly accepting them for who they are or what they could be ? The only one we can change is us with our Higher Power. Love you all! Love yourself. Love your Higher Power. Have a Blessed night.

Father God, You are the Potter and I am the clay. Please mold me into the shape that You desire, so that I may be used for the purpose that You intend for me.
