INSPIRED...

I haven't written a Blog
In almost...
2 months.

After MUCH thought...

I
DECIDED...

I just DIDN'T feel "Inspired."

LIFE
IS
DIFFICULT

At Times.

As I write this entry...

I'm PREPARING to attend the Funeral

OF
A
FRIEND,

And, Co-Worker.

Who LEFT this Earth,
At the "tender" age of 40.

Just two weeks ago,

I attended the Funeral...

Of a CHILDHOOD Friend.

We LIVED on the same block,
We PLAYED on the same streets.

He LOST his Battle with Cancer.

So, Frankly...

LIFE
HAS
BEEN
DIFFICULT

Lately.

A GOOD Friend

ALSO
A

Breast Cancer Survivor...

One of the," PINK SISTERS"

I've Traveled on this JOURNEY with.

Is having a MAJOR Setback,

Resulting from Reconstruction.

WITH
ALL
THIS...

I'd LIKE to GET in BED...

PULL the Covers "OVER" My HEAD,

AND,

PRETEND...

If I STAYED in BED

LONG
ENOUGH.

This would ALL,

GO
AWAY!

That would be the EASY thing to do.

But,

INSTEAD...

I "CHOOSE"...

TO

GET UP!

FACE THE DAY!

And, ACKNOWLEDGE...

Although...

LIFE
IS
DIFFICULT

"OUR" GOD

"MY" GOD.

IS ABLE!

I "CHOOSE"...

To BELIEVE...

"Weeping MAY endure for a NIGHT...

And, I BELIEVE...
(It's that FAITH "Thang!")

But, JOY...Comes in the MORNING."

With that JOY...

Comes HOPE.

And, HOPE...

Now that's INSPIRING...

Until Next Time...
