That Feeling

Listen to "That Feeling" on Spreaker. What do you feel the very moment you wake up? Not after you've planted your feet on the floor. That moment when your eyes greet a new day and dreams are left on the wayside. How you feel in that moment is the new days first sip of fuel. On this podcast we travel into this subject because in a lot of conversations I'm beginning to hear people describe their feelings. I'm hearing a lot of, "I don't know." Which isn't an answer. It's a push, a shoving to the side. A total we aren't going there. Which has a way of turning into walls, new mountains, excuses, reasons to shift paths and whatever else feeds the steps controlling your present atmosphere. I take a walk with Jazzie every morning at 4:30. Maybe its because we've had two days of flash flooding with very little sunshine I took note of a feeling. It actually started when I opened my eyes. A feeling. I asked myself about what it was or wasn't. I said what everyone else has, "I don't know." It wasn't big enough to put a dent in my ambition. But it was heavy enough to land on my writing page. A feeling. Which is why I bring it to you. What do you feel the very second you open your eyes? This being our 65th day in Coronavirus quarantine might be part of the feeling. Blessed with seven people of fame conversations today could be what created the feeling. It didn't have an identity. Which is the reason why I made the choice to write about it. Which is now part of this conversation. There are a lot of feelings being tossed about in our circles of love and new beginnings. Nothing poisons a feeling faster than a friend going a week without sending a text or making a call. That generates some feelings. A family member that grew tired of picking positive over negative formulates a feeling. My mother used to collect buttons. She had jars of them. Why? Her answer never changed, "I don't know." Get to know your feeling. Understand its birth and continuation. Believe in the feeling or drop it like its hot. You feel because that's our gift from the mind body and soul. It needs you to feel to make the right decision. If it ends up being wrong. Its ok. Be aware of the next feeling. You're going to make it through this weird new life and style because how you feel is through a new set of eyes. Make every day the first step of your brand new beginning and be excited about this exploration through time.
