A different kind of photo this morning.

This picture was from August 30th of this year, the day after I realzied that I needed to get back on the right path.

For some time, I was reluctant towards my family. I did not want them in my life.

As I was trying to get my life back on track, another thing I had not been recognizing for some time was not the care of my bed.

My bed frame and box springs had fallen into a great state of disrepair over the past three years and wanting to get some good sleep over that I had not gotten for a good bit of the summer, wanted this fixed.

While it was in the plan to be addressed in my need to get on the right path, It greatly irritated me and at 9:30 in the evening, I destroyed it and sent this picture to my mom.

That’s when the love of both my parents came in.

They got me set up as much as the could and the next morning they went to the furniture store, explained the situation and got a new bedframe and box springs set for delivery the next day on credit.

When I woke up this morning, I was thinking of how blessed I am to be waking up in a bed that my parents had gotten me out of love and the gratitude that is so much needed to have when there are people that do not have a bed to call their own.

Through all the challenges that 2023 has brought, there continues to be a shining light that protrudes through the roughness of the year.

Today, I am smiling a litle better knowing that I am cared for greatly and that there is SO much to be grateful for.
