The last couple of days things have been trying to frustrate me, to defeat me if you will…I don’t allow negative thoughts to fester. .I rip them out immediately & press on. .This morning it was getting a rip snorting fire going because I  craved heat & light @ my 4 AM arise & shine time..But the insolent fire would not cooperate. .Every time I had it going good if I took my eyes off it for a few, it died out..Did I give up after 5 tries ? Nope..As I sit in front of this gloriously warm & toasty fire…I feel victory..So I rewarded myself by piping peanut butter icing on top of my oatmeal with fresh bananas..Man is that good..!! Always remember;  it’s our thoughts that shape our lives..So be the gate keeper who pulls up the negative thoughts, overcomes them & therefore sees & experiences Victory.. It’s yours for the taking. ..
