I am alive challenge: 16th September 2023: It's not all rosy you know

If there is a commercial for an exact description of stress, I think I will do a great job of it. Jeez!

I know these are not the things to post. I am meant to uplift your soul and tell you that life is rosy most of the time- I stand today to represent the unpopular ‘not rosy’ / ‘pas rosé’.
Yes, I have been learning French and it is a good extension to open up my brain on Duolingo.😁

I choose to embrace it this time (the not-so-rosy feeling) and rest. Sleep knocks at my eyelids heavily right now to give way- ‘Calm down, I will give in immediately after this post’.

I sewed an outfit today and started yesterday night by cutting it. I promised a mum to get it ready for her birthday not withstanding the blackout in Nigeria. Though it was resolved today not after I had made other plans - though I am grateful.

Being grateful is my go to arena to get away from gloomy situations and it has always paid off.

My whole body aches from the sewing and promise to post the step-by-step process to achieve a front-zipped gown. I am grateful for the opportunity to bring amsmiles on the faces of people through what I do.

I am grateful for life, experiences and mistakes (I sure do learn from them) though won't mind a far less hurtful learning process😅

I went for a meeting in the evening but was almost so sure I would not make it but I did. Thank goodness I could.

Next stop - making my gown after I start feeling like myself though.

I am alive and grateful . Hope you are too?

I feel for you, Whitney, and I understand. Some days just don't flow quite as well as we'd like. It's kind of like that for me today. As you say, though, gratitude is the way. I appreciate you so much, even when you express the not-so-rosey side of life.

By the way, the plant with the yellow flowers that you have as your cover photo is one with which I'm very familiar. I grow it here too. It's most colorful vernacular name is ramgoat dashalong, alluding go how it makes male goats that eat it act. It's botanical name is Ternera ulmifolia, and it's a potent medicinal related to damiana.

Have a truly excellent new week, dear! May it be radiant! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The pleasure is always mine tydynrain💕

Yes it’s an edible vegetable, we use it to make soup here to eat alongside starchy products. Oh wow! Never knew all this about it, thanks for sharing🙏🏽 I looked up the damiana plant as well and learnt a whole lot more !luv 😁🤗

I so appreciate that, Whitney! Oh, wow! See, that's not a use for it that I've heard yet! Super cool! It's good for assisting with respiratory, digestive, and female reproductive issues. I make a tea out of it. It's always my pleasure to share about plants! Plants are magic! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Alright dear
You are welcome.

Hope you got more than enough rest this weekend, so you'll welcome a new week with more vigor and energy. I guess it's a reality that not every day will be perfect nor rosy. That's life, but we do keep going. ;) wishing you a marvelous week ahead!
