DAY 24. MARCH 24, 2024, TRULY, I AM THANKFUL

Good Morning, Everyone,

When I looked at Day 24 this morning, I jumped for joy. We have seven days before the Challenge ends, and I am grateful. It’s not that I am not enjoying the Challenge; I have learned a lot about my consistency, persistence, and perseverance. As I reached the halfway point, I had to push harder, use more energy to rethink my sentence stying, and give more time to reading my posts before I put them on my blog. I am genuinely thankful that I could do that.

I also had to increase my sleep. My brain refused to let me override my tiredness and continue working. Instead, when I am tired, I have had to stop, rest, and do nothing.

Thus, this ability to stay consistent and persist has become more potent. It is true that the more you practice your weaknesses, the stronger you become because your weaknesses become strengths. To grasp this principle fills my heart with gratitude.

This Challenge has helped me stay consistent and authentic to myself and others, persisting forward as I persevere toward my goal of finishing it.

Therefore, I am thankful for the 2nd RRBC “A DAY IN MY LIFE” 30-Day Blogging Challenge. We have approached the last seven days, and on DAY 30, I hope to be one of those who have reached the finish line. Truly, I am thankful.

I leave you with a short peep into one of my concerts. Most of these are cover songs or songs I have written that follow me through my life. If you have noticed on these blog posts for the Challenge, I always say a poem, a quote, a reading, or a song follows me. These things suddenly spring up and help me make the right life choices whenever necessary. Each one of the songs I cover onstage I have been singing for years. Whatever I do in life, I take full responsibility to live the way I choose by being as authentic as possible.

Truly, I Am Thankful- A short peep into my concerts with the Jan Masuhr

Have a lovely Sunday, and take care.

Shalom shalom

  1. Shirley Harris-Slaughter – I love old buildings and history. That's why I ended up writing about the history that surrounded me all of my life - "Our Lady of Victory, the Saga of an African-American Catholic Community." Plus our church had closed and the school is torn down, so I felt it was imperative that we preserve the history or it would be lost forever.

    Wow Pat. To think I almost missed this stop. I’ve been running late. My goodness you put a lot of pizazz in your deliveries. You are a woman of many talents. I am so impressed.

    Baby Boy was the theme song at the Mass of the church I was invited to in New Jersey on a book tour. They paid my speakers fee, the plane fare and they bought all the books I brought with me and put me up in the hotel and reserved a room for the booksigning. It was also Mother’s Day. I loved it and that song!

    Thank you for sharing. You are fabulous!

  2. Patty Perrin – Florida – Author of Teen/YA SciFi Adventure and Inspirational Non-Fiction, I'm an avid reader, happily married to the love of my life, a mom and gramma and a light and salty follower of Jesus Christ. I grew up an Army Brat in Europe, had no television, and subsequently read books for entertainment in-between adventures that my parents never knew about. My TETRASPHERE series is one I would have loved reading as a teen, which is why I wrote it. I still enjoy the Teen/YA genre, along with SciFi, Fantasy, Time-Travel, some Romance, Mystery, and a few non-fiction categories. If it has print, I will read it. If I can squeeze it into my Kindle, I will read it. You can find out more at www.ptlperrin.org.

    Hi, Pat,

    Perseverance is growth, and I, for one, am so glad you’ve persevered this far in the challenge.

    Your singing touched my heart! I love many of the songs in your compilation, (Mary Did You Know, I Feel Good, among others) and your powerful voice did each of them justice. What a joy to hear you sing! You’ve made my day! Thank you!

    Blessings,
    Patty
