Great rising Kings and Kweens!! As I sit here sipping my morning coffee, I reminisce on how absolutely phenomenal Day 4 of NO COMPLAINTS was for me! The Most High DID that AND nothing could have changed those vibes!
So before I begin to talk about my wonderful day, I have TWO questions. Are you taking this challenge?
IF NOT ... 
I have heard excuses from the heat won't let me be great, awful co-workers, aggravating children and mates, etc. etc. None of those things, in my opinion, are reasons to complain. As long as there is a/c in your reach the heat is a small factor. I am a bus catcher. I stand in it for minutes at a time. I have a fan, face cloth and water but won't I don't have are COMPLAINTS!! Your co-workers, you chose that job so deal with it and them as positively as possible or find another job. If you do that you aren't guaranteed better co-workers though so weigh your options of the known and unknown. Your children/grandchildren/mate ... some things you can't change so you find a positive way to deal with them when the negative situations arise. Check yourself. In this newly found love that I have, I've had to check myself PLENTY of times. EVERY THING DOES NOT REQUIRE A RESPONSE! It's hard, having been this way most of my life but I see it's not always other people ... some times it's me. YOU may need an attitude adjustment as well.
Anywho, it's not my place to tell anyone how to live their lives complaint free BUT know this, I am most certainly going to keep sharing my happy, non-complaint life.
EVEN when I fall and allow something to take me out of my happy place just for a moment, I will share. We are all human and all we really want is to be happy (MJB voice)! So, on to Day 4. Usually I don't work on Monday's because I teach a line dance aerobics class Monday evenings. I prefer to have my day off to prepare for class. Day 4, I worked and it was actually a good day EVEN THOUGH we only had 2 people working, self included. In all of my years working retail I have come to know that this is the home of the call out. I truly feel people do not take retail jobs seriously ... those folk should find a call center. Just my thoughts but even with only 2 of us running the until the called in associate could get there, it was still a great day. It made those few hours of work fly by. I love busy work, it makes me happy.
As I mentioned above I am a bus rider and I noticed I had spent more time talking after work and I only have 7 minutes to get to my bus. That's a lot of time BUT depending on the mood of the driver it could pull off in 4 or 5 so here I go scurrying across the street to the terminal. It was extremely hot and humid so the sweat started instantaneously! I saw the 19 sitting there and thought to myself what if it pulls off as I am walking up. I would have to wait 30 more minutes for the next one. That was not an option so I looked up and started praying to the Most High. I prayed for that driver to be off the bus, on a phone call or something that would allow me to have more time to get there. Just as I made that prayer the driver walked off the bus eating and stood by the trash can. He saw me coming, it was one of my regular drivers ... he waited. WHEN I TELL Y'ALL I WAS OVER JOYED?? Can't nobody tell me that prayer does NOT work!
So as I am riding home in the cold a/c of the JTA bus I receive a text from my Leo King inquiring his Kween's whereabouts. As we conversed, I rang the bell for my stop and stepped off the bus, unexpectedly my King is there to pick me up. When I tell you that made my ENTIRE day and I knew my day could only go up from here. This man works on the total opposite side of the county from me so seeing him immediately after work is not the norm for us, maybe by 5 or 6 but never at 3. My King rushed his way over to my side of town as we text on my ride home to make sure I saw his face when I walked off the bus. I have been blessed by the best with this one! Believe me!
Time with my King, no matter how long or short, is always awesome. Our conversations are one of a kind. I have never dated anyone who pushes me like he does to be better, to learn more, and to grow in many of my untapped areas. If you are in any type of "ship" (relationship, friendship) and it isn't making you want to do any of the things I mentioned - LEAVE! It is doing you no good, just taking up precious space and time, something that we can't get back.
The King drops me off to line dance class and I have to say WE WERE LIT! When I tell you we had ALL KINDS OF FUN, from the work out portion to the teaching of the line dances. Even the children jumped in and learned the steps. All of the positive energy and vibrations that I took in prior to class was fed to my class attendees and they felt it! I had 3 new ladies attend and they expressed how much they enjoyed the class. They also said they would return, I love those conversations.
After class, the rest of my evening was chill. I read, wrote, searched new line dances and ended it with conversation from my favorite girl, my daughter, who will be here at the weeks end, my King and the Most High. I had to give thanks for how well these past 4 days had been. Dropping that complaint on Day 15 of the original challenge attempt allowed me to see a lot of things differently. This go around I think, no, I KNOW I can make this a lifestyle change. If you've been attempting the challenge, share your story with me in the comments. I would love to hear them and see how they inspire someone else. Positive vibrations feel too good to not be a part of daily life. You know?
So now I ask again, what are you waiting on?
