It’s Another One

I was talking with my cousin this morning. We talked about how his birthday was the next day and how we made a huge mistake as we hadn’t planned it better. We could have planned for him to spend it here with family, rather than alone, at school. He dismissed it, saying;
“It is what it is
I am already used to a horrible birthday.
Last year my birthday passed before I realized that I had a birthday two days later”.

I knew he really didn’t mean it. I began to preach to him. I realized I preached to myself too.

“Tomorrow is not yet here and you are declaring it horrible?
You need to be intentional about your mind set.
Plan your emotional and mental activity in advance.
Prioritize YOURSELF.
No one can love you better than you can love yourself”.

In less than five minutes after that, we had mapped out ideas and plans right into the new year. He came up with these great ideas, all by himself.

He asked about my son and when he was due back from school and I replied “Friday”…I was about the add, “the thirteenth” but then I paused, suddenly cautious. Then I dismissed it. I readjusted my mindset on the fear of Friday the 13th. I already got that covered after all in Friday the 13th.

This Friday the 13th of December is going to be an amazing one, SonTer will be home for the holidays.

Can hardly wait.
