How's your day going?

     Have you ever had one of those days? Unfortunately,  at some point, we all have. Sometimes, do you ever wish you could be for sure, you are not going crazy, that it seems like everything you do is wrong, Your mind starts racing, you don't want to call or talk to anyone because you know, it is just going to make you overthink the situation again, only to find out there is not a thing wrong anywhere, it was just you thinking negative thoughts? Or, is that just me? I still have to watch and not let myself fall into those negative thoughts or feelings. Well, if sometimes you feel different, hollar at me. My Grandma (Wilson) used to say, 'Come on in, we will tell a joke, drink a Coke, have a smoke, and talk about it." She was a hoot! This is why I wanted to create this page. (I have lived alone for around 18-20 years) I am genuine when I say "Keep Comin' Back")." My whole outlook on life changes if someone just smiles and asks how my day is going. Sounds pretty simple, but it works. I wish I could say that was my secret to finding happiness. Although keeping a positive attitude can make a huge difference in how we form our opinions, finding peace for ourselves requires sheer determination and grit. Only you can change the road you're on, but I can tell you for sure, you are not alone, not with me in your corner. "Keep Comin' Back"

      

 

 

Start your day with us

      Pour yourself a cup of (for me) coffee. If something has been bugging you, or you are about to bug someone, just write it out; ask a new question, share a headline, or, after pondering something that was discussed yesterday (or a few days ago), that has been on your mind. This is our space to ask others what they think, (you gotta remember though, everyone has an opinion, so hear them out, they did you), but respond, reflect, sometimes it feels so good just to say things out loud, to feel heard. Whether your day is bright or a little rough, hopefully I, or someone living across the world, can be here to help you navigate whatever it takes. Just keep smiling!

Find answers and positivity

      Life can be challenging, but you don't have to face it alone. I aim to provide insights and encouragement to help turn rough days around. Our experiences and comments contribute to a supportive community where everyone can find a little extra light.       Over the last four years, I was not only able to study and write about aging but also to live it. The final paper I wrote for my Capstone class to earn my Bachelor's, the culmination of 4 years of rigorous study, was on the elderly and social media. I learned so much researching for it. Keeping socially active is something I've learned helps maintain a more positive outlook on many situations we all face daily.  I hope to help fill your days with conversation. Always makes my day!

Share your story

Your thoughts matter. This platform is designed for you to openly share how your day is unfolding, what challenges you might be facing, or what successes you're celebrating. Your unique perspective can inspire and resonate with others. Please do not hesitate to open up conversations about world affairs, or whoever's affairs. (laughing). We all know how sticky political talk can get, but if you want to vent, just be as nice as possible! (I will shut it off if need be):

"Connecting with others here makes even the toughest days feel a little lighter. It's like a daily dose of hope."
