Ah, November. You are hard to bear!

I have trudged through nearly two thirds of this month, staying out of the dark side, for the most part.

I had a great few days exploring New York City for the first time, with all the wonderful art, food, culture, and energy. My hubby and I ran around like we were much younger.

Today I’m home, and I’m exhausted.

This afternoon I received confirmation of some expected, but still disheartening, news.

I also learned I’ll have to be dealing with something this week I don’t want to, and had no idea I would have to.

Plus, it’s November.

I’m letting go. It’s intentional. I know I don’t have control over any of this.

I forgive. Intentionally…but I still have a hurting heart.

I will continue to do my devotions, exercise, eat right, and avoid all toxic things…and toxic people as well.

I am grateful for my discernment, and I’ll use it to keep myself safe. And sane!

This week will pass. I will be thankful for my blessings. I will pray for my enemies.

I will overcome.
