Dear #ChronicWarrior

Dear #ChronicWarrior - 
I know you've been through a lot already, and more to go through, still. 
Looking at things that please our eyes, will please our brains/emotions, as well. Look at your pain, through your mind's eye, when possible. See the beauty in the chaos, or find a fun distraction. 
I can easily say that I picture my muscles, ligaments, and tendons strengthening themselves; after years, of feeling them being pulled apart. A friend is helping me find healing in positive speech with our body. If we are tender & loving to our bodies, it replies in kind. 
Take the time for that soak! Spend that extra hour resting, when possible! Take time to say Yes to yourself, and start saying No!, to miserable things that zap your energy. 
Find ways to reduce the amount of negative stimulation in your day, as well. Less television, or less social media; more quiet time, and more family time.

The real Race...

I have always believed in one Race, which is The Human one. I don't wear labels well, especially when placed on me, by others. 
God made man, and gave him his own free will. Then, Man created words, and gave them meaning. Men Chose the word 'Race,' to be a separation, and challenge. White men, at that time (and still), in power to do so.
