Who can you call friend?

Good morning, evening, or afternoon, to you my luvs all around the world.   Today started with physical therapy and ended with me spending time with my children.  I was mentally exhausted for the past few days. While talking to one of my brother's,  he asked me to define what a friend is.  So I  replied with a person who brings you value and is there when you need them and not out for personal gain. He went on to say that a friend will do their best to to keep any type of harm from me and he also said that even if they are not doing good and I  am, they are still rooting for me.....I could do nothing but listen because he was correct. He said "Tricey, quit calling everyone your friend because they are not" Ever since I  was  little, I always had  a "new friend". He asked where are all those people that was at the hospital that could not see you. Are they calling asking if you need anything now? Are they coming to just sit with you for an hour? Cook for your children? But you label everyone your friend.  Now  this is not to make anyone feel bad, this is me writing my thoughts. My mom, children, and siblings take care of me and I  do have those two's andfews who come through that are my friends. The conversation made me think at the tender age of 42, that I  am  just now realizing that I have a number of associates and very few friends. This is HOLLYWOODTRICEY, signing off....be blessed, and know that you are!

Procedures.....

Good evening everyone!  I  certainly hope that you all had a great day!!! My day started with me going to physical therapy.  That was challenging but God got me through it.....but no pain , no gain right?  I  know that the rehab is to help with pulmonary, but I  am  going to get all that I can out of this. I need so much from this.  It almost makes me feel normal again, whatever that is. How was your day luvs? Did you enjoy your job and not just consider it work? Your purpose should be connected to whatever you're passionate about and what you do daily.  I'm a passionate person, but will leave a good paying job if it means I will help more people.  That's just something to think about.  I had an extremely busy day today and I  am  going to end this on this note....."always think of others more than you think of yourself." Be blessed and know that you are.

Life's Battles

I became a soldier in a war that I  did not sign up for.  This battle is so very challenging and with each new task comes a repercussion of the battle.  This battle is vicious my friend and when it comes against you, you are very much unprepared.  I don't care how hard you work out, eat right, or train for this battle, you still don't know that a battle has started until it has begun.  This is the type of battle that wreaks such havoc upon you that it sometimes takes years to recover.   This battle my friend is dangerous and it also cares not what it detroys.  That's why  we soldiers must prepare for battle a different way. We must gird ourselves with the Word of God. We must put on the shoes of righteousness because those are the shoes that will help us.  We have to keep on that helmet of salvation because without it we may get knocked around. We have to stay in prayer and cast all of our cares upon him because he cares for us.  This battle, I  would not wish on my enemies.  This battle my friend is called Lupus......and it's deadly. Be blessed my friends and know that you are. Hollywood Tricey💖💖💖
