Today is Saturday, June 3, 2023

On my mind today is how wonderful some nurses are and how terrible and mean others are.

Last night, I had a mean one.

As a result, I did not sleep well. And today I don’t feel well.

I don’t like mean nurses.

My concern is that I am being abusing my body to help me get better and stronger while doctors want me to take medication for my heart and pumping my body with medication. 

I don’t like doctors.

I don’t like medicine.

I like healthy food and vitamins.

I know it’s hard to believe in yourself because you’ve been downtrodden and at rock bottom for so long.

But this is where you start your comeback.

This is the chapter in your life that changes your life..

And it’s all up to you.

Before you say I’m naive, that I don’t know how hard it is or that I don’t know what it means to be tired..

I do.

I’ve been where you are and I made a choice to rise from the ashes of the old life that I burned down..

So, it’s your turn to choose to rise up or stay down.

Whatever your dreams are, no matter how big or how small,

You’ve got this.

Learn to dance.

Start a new career.

Skydive.

And when you get to that point where you’re scared and maybe it even hurts a little..

Keep going.

Your best days, your loudest laughter and deepest loves are still ahead of you.

Stop saying what could go wrong and start believing what could go right.

It’s your life.

You’ve got one shot.

Make it a memorable one.

In the end, it’s all up to you.

Ugh.

Can I do it today and tomorrow?

I am going to try. Wish me luck 

No choice because I don’t want to die 

Period!!

Best, Jay
