If I had to pick a theme song for my life right about now, it would be “JUST FINE” by Mary J. Blige.

Talk about an infectious beat! I dare you to play that song and NOT find yourself dancing. Bayyybeeee, that’s the one right about now.

Now part the reason it would be my theme IS simply it is banging! If it pulls me up out of my seat, that’s the one. The main reason it would be my theme is because that’s how I’m feeling right now – “Just Fine”. And like MJB, I wouldn’t change my life right now. It works. Even when I put my hands all up in the midst of things…or try to.

I hit a bump this week dealing with a few tidbits of news that left me feeling unsettled, then folks were moving slow (ok…too slow for me) in terms of doing what they said. All that solo “heavy lifting” got to me for a minute and the walls …came…tumbling…down. I hit that bump & skurred a few folk. (Sorry Boo. I’m back, my smile intact & er’ythang)

I took a look at my scaled down To-Do list and realized I had gotten it twisted.

Original list
1. Call plumber
2. Drop bills
3. Schedule repairs
4. Finish apps/mail
5. Trust God

Revised list:
1. Trust God
a. Call plumber
b. Drop bills
c. Schedule repairs
d. Finish apps/mail

See, when the walls came tumbling down, I had to drop back a minute, slow things down. All that heavy lifting. And I remembered blogging about that a while back. How they tell you when you’re lifting to bend your knees, lift from your knees…prayer position…from your knees….

Yes, I am JUST FINE indeed. And knowing where I’ve been? Baby, that is ALL the reason I need to celebrate.

Take it to the bridge Mary J!

C’mon. Do the WOP with me ya’ll.

You know you want to. Don’t front!

Enjoy your weekend!

(What’s not to enjoy? FavCus#1 gets to take her PhD walk tomorrow. Jill Scott concert tics go on sale next week. Ledisi has been nominated for a Grammy or two. And me? I’m enjoying a mug of mango tea and brewing up something poetic. My life? JUST FINE. Trust & believe! Smooches!!)

Oh, here’s the link to the video should you wanna rock to that:
“Mary J Blige - Just Fine”

Stay warm! Be safe!

Live DELICIOUSLY!!
