Humpday of strugglrific Wednesday masked as Monday
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth. Swami Vivekananda

From the moments of pain, look how far we done came
Haters saying you changed, now you doing your thang
[Hook]Good morning!   - Kanye West - Good Morning. 

Right now I am trying to be in a place of calm, a place where I can chill out and then handle the chaos of life better. You don't just get it overnight; you have to work at it. It's a daily struggle. Jackee Harry

Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices. Paul Tournier

You have to struggle a bit, hustle a little, and be willing to go bankrupt. Once you're willing to do that, everything opens up and you get the freedom. My joke is that next year, I'll make the first film that costs zero dollars. Nick Nolte


Fam Good morning.  Happy Humpday!
How you be fam? Ain't talked to you in a week!  Good to see ya! 

So in my neck of the woods, temperature dropped fierce and quick! For us mature folks, it sometimes makes you feel ya age.  Joints, bones and even skin (Dry) starts coming around to visit.  Heat and lotion  helps with some glucosamine as a cure.  We've had no snow just cold rain  It washes away issues, sometimes, or just chills to the bone others times at least around here.

What's weird is I'd been all tapped out this week  I didn't think going into writing today that I'd have anything to say. Last week I worked 2 x 12 hour days on the weekend shift, and that always wrecks me.  Been on struggle street fa real!  I got kids so most times standing on frustration lane fustrated at things they do.  We just got to the teenage angst and I saying "I know" but doing dumb here (yea that's a phrase) and showing they  don't know anything and can't do right to save their  life! stage..   
Fam, really they can be good kids, but in testing boundaries and absent or vacant thinking.. grandpa wants to do the rag doll shake ... Seriously fam they sometimes do things and I am like "Fa real??  fa real fa real??  (Kid name) Where dey do dat at? I mean we don't do that here.. Not here!"  Yup.  Dems the issues I got.  Life, work and home.   What you got on deck?

My boy, friend, brother from another mama came back into town to visit.  Was good for the time I got to seem him.  
My other boy, friend, best man and ace goon,  came around and man! I didn't realize it'd been so long since we just sat and talked.  Gotta hold on to good friends fam, we gonna fall back but cain't be fallin off!  

 Fam I got into IT and later traveling, lost a lot to work and forgot how to relax and vibe.  To this day I have issues decompressing and staying up till 3 am when I don't have to work is normal it seems (lately).  (See Fallin off)

To wit, since this is NaNoWritMo I gotta start my writing regardless of the cold, the tired, the struggle, the frustration... I said I was gonna do it so I gotta do it right? 
Tis Humpday and I bid you well.  Hope you find peace amongst the war of emotions, solace in the struggle and freedom from frustration.  Lets get through this and bang on.   

If you see the camel, be sure.. and very sure to slap him in the face when he starts to talk, wag your finger and say "No, no.. na uh.. Mike knows his name!"
