Clouds Roll In…

I’ve always prided myself on being a cheerleader for others and a source of encouragement. I am never the person that wants to put another person down. I view it as unhealthy and adds no value to who I am as a person. 

I had a “friend” that didn’t mind tearing others down. Since “bad associations spoil useful habits” I fell into a brief trap of being critical. I regret that because that’s not me…at all! That negativity dragged me down. I’m human and I can admit my wrongs. I’m an encourager by nature and I intend to continue that way. Negativity is like (figurative) clouds. I love real clouds and I love cloudy days. But figuratively speaking, clouds block shine and cast shadows and shade. It’s depressing and an intemperate state of mind. No good for anyone. 

I used to want to be a nurse. They are extremely critical to the care of a patient.  Nurses used to wear caps. The caps symbolized their being “highly capable“. I’m wearing a cap in this outfit to symbolize my contribution to the mental health of others as well as myself. Being positive does more than we think. I’m highly capable of being a person of influence but what I choose to do with that influence is truly important. My goal is to continue my quest to always be positive, encouraging and heartening. Negative vibes is and never will be me! 

Anyhoo, my outfit is basic, the focus being on my message. Although I will say these shorts make me look bigger than I am. They’re a size 29! Welp, let me know what you think anyway and if you have any other thoughts, let’s chat!
