Well I'm going to my hometown for our annual fall festival. I'm looking forward to this short trip where I can see some old friends and sell a few of my books. I feel that next week will be the week that the job I'm looking for finally comes through. I'm so ready to get back to work and back to contributing to my family once again. Anyway, "time to make the donuts" as the saying goes. Take care to all that read this and God bless you.

Every morning I wake up I face the biggest challenge of my life and that challenge is ME! I wonder sometimes how and why I do the things I do and think the way I think sometimes. If I can control my emotions and continue to move forward I'd be unstoppable. I have my up and down days so I'm okay with that and I always plan on working on myself on a daily basis. Self Control is key to my success so when I'm able to do that, the day is much nicer and easier to manage.

I don't normally have Monday's like this but this one was pretty freaking awesome. I hope the happiness continues and the entire week will be even better. I'm excited about every opportunity that's coming my way and the phone won't stop ringing with job opportunities. The breakthrough is about to happen and I can only thank God and Jesus for this; AMEN!

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got" a business professor said that to me and a business class I was taking back in the day in college. It's time for me to stop doing what I've always done and anticipate getting something new as a result. I have to change in order to make change. I have to do better in order to get better. I...me...Mark has to make a significant change in order to have a better existence. I'm going to keep pushing myself to change in order to make a better life for myself; PERIOD!

What a long night last night after going into work at 3:25am which was suppose to be a short run turn into me pulling a double and finishing work at 12pm today! I'm at home now and I'm so full of caffeine that it's hard to go to sleep. I guess I'll have to let this crap run through my system before I'll be able to get some sleep. This sucks ass because I'm tired but not tired enough to go to sleep. Sucks to be me now but hopefully, I'll eventually get some sleep. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to have a job and I'll continue to thank you for everything no matter what.

Wednesday 9/21/2016

I'm so thankful for all the blessings that I have and for the Lord blessing me for the life that I live. Even though I'm tired and feeling a little down, I know I have to continue to fight for what's right. I can't quit no matter how much I want too. I'm hopeful that a major change will come and it will be beneficial for myself and my family because it's all about them. Anyway, let me get busy with the rest of my day and God bless everyone who reads this message.

Tuesday 9/20/2016

One more day to get "it" right for myself. One more day to figure out what the hell went wrong and how to fix it. One more day to say "screw it" and more forward. One more day to ask for forgiveness. One more day to be better than I was yesterday. Lord, I come to you for another chance to be a better man, husband, father, provider and friend.

Monday 9/19/2016

I'm back today after spending the weekend with my family up in VA/DC. I just needed some time away to see them and catch up. I needed that break from my immediate family and see my brothers and sisters to do some fun things together. Well, it's dinner time so I'll be back in the saddle again tomorrow.

Wednesday 9/14/2016

It's a long slow road back to reality and I can't say I'm thrilled about the journey. I'm so tired of what I'm going through and how my life is. I want to make some serious changes and the biggest obstacle I'm facing is the guy staring back at me in the mirror. I feel so fearful for some unknown reason and it's really pissing me off. I want to get a real job and that's a great uphill battle for some reason. I want to do better for my family and my wife. I know she's feeling a lot of pressure having to carry the load for us and I'm ashamed about that. I have to get a real job soon or I'm afraid I might loose her. The last thing I want to do is have my marriage end because of my bullshit.

Tuesday 9/13/2016

Let me apologize for not writing a blog over the last few days. I was out sick and I just got back on my computer today. I want to let everyone know that I'm slowly getting back to me and hopefully, he'll be back soon.

Wednesday 9/7/2016

I just wanted to start the day off thankful for being among the living and being in good health. My sinuses are acting crazy this morning and it's hard to breath. I'm going to have to take something because this is going to suck breathing out of my mouth (Not A Good Look!). Anyway, I have a full schedule today and I have to go to the doctor which is always an adventure so let me get busy and get my "to do list" done.

Tuesday 8/6/2016

I have so many things on my mind that's it's beginning to trouble me. I have to get myself together and refocus. Distraction are a pain in the butt and I have to begin getting rid of them one by one in order to get back on track. I will refuse to allow me to continue to be distracted and allow that to control my direction. Anyway, let me get started on ridding myself of that first distraction right now!

Monday 9/5/2016

All I ever wanted to do was the right thing each and every time I woke up and started my day. The first thing I do is pray then I make the following claim; "Today's going to be a great day" then I go and make it happen. I will always strive to do just that and I make it a personal mission not to be the individual that makes someone else's day bad. If anything, I try to be a positive part of anyone's day who allows me the privilege of being in their life. I hope that one day everyone who reads this will try to do the same thing.

Saturday 9/3/2016

Today is the day to shine, no matter what you're doing and what you have to face. Thank you God for all of your blessings. I'm so happy that I can't help but smile and rejoice in this feeling. To all who reads this, have a great day and enjoy your weekend.

Friday 9/2/2016

It's Friday and the weather is lousy due to a Hurricane that hit Florida last night and is making it's way up the coast to NC. I have all of my supplies and plenty of alcohol just in case. I'm going to try to get as much work done as I can before it gets to bad outside. I'm praying that no one looses their lives or is seriously injured during this bad weather patch. Anyway, be safe out there to everyone and try to make the most of today.

Thursday 9/1/2016

Well September has arrived and I'm glad it's here to be honest. August was tough and I'm glad to see it gone. I'm ready for this month because it's going to bring me closer to completing a major goal I set for myself before the year ends. I'm one step closer to landing that new job and I'm losing weight at a steady pace. Well, it's time to get busy with today's work schedule so to whoever reads this, God bless you all.
