Maggie's Day 334 of Discovering Love in Honoring My Hero

This was not one of my better days. There have been far worse though, much worse. Somewhere in the dark out of a deep sleep I had to make a mad dash to the restroom last night. Fortunately my sink was close enough to my bed that all that I hurled remained within the basin. I was thankful.

After cleaning myself up and the sink as best I could I crawled back into bed, pulled the covers tight around my chin before falling back into a sleep that wasn’t very restful. No wonder I’m so exhausted.

I think I ate something yesterday that just didn’t agree with me and it’s still not. But I’m going to be okay. Now I know why I didn’t feel so well when I was posting my discovery of love yesterday.



Even though this wasn’t one of my better days I managed to flash a beautiful smile to all those who crossed my path. At one point a man even asked me if I was a model. I wanted to ask him if I reminded him of the old Model T’s but opted to keep a poor joke at bay.

On more than one occasion it was said to me, “You are good.” I was just doing what I do and thankful for the opportunity to do it. Life is short. I am trying to cram in all that I can so that I can say, “Did that.” So far I’m right on schedule.

With an abundance of gratitude I shall honor Martin Luther King Junior Day tomorrow. His strength remains my guide for standing up for what I believe in no matter how much the weak want to squelch me.

It is my duty to be as I am. So I shall be.

I’m also in gratitude that I don’t have to be down at school tomorrow in the morning. I’ll be able to sleep in. Something I think my body desperately needs. Ah, a day of rest in honor of a fighter. My hero.

I shall never quit fighting for what I think is right. I was raised that way. I was raised under the veil of Martin Luther King, Jr., John Fitzgerald Kennedy and my educated parents who taught me to think for myself and to question authority. I am thinking. I am questioning.

Sweet Dreams to you and all the fighters in your life who stand up for the just! Maggie ã
