Writing in the Dark

Quick reminder before we get into today’s Teez update…

I’m writing this straight from my phone, so please forgive any typos, funky formatting, or moments where my thoughts run faster than my thumbs!

Until my power is restored all posts are free and very much “real life is happening right now” kind of shares.

Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for showing up even when things are a little lot dim on my end. 💋

The New Update Arrived

Entergy let us know yesterday evening that our new estimated restoration date is now February 4th.

Ya'll… I’m not gonna lie. Today, I’m actively practicing staying positive.

Literally, when I catch myself getting upset, stressed, worried, or even irritated…

I stop and remind myself that it could always be worse. And I know it really could be worse…

So instead of typing how I really feel in all caps, I’m going to say instead…

I am alive, and I am breathing.

And I will make it through this with a smile on my face. 😃 Even if I have to fake it.

Oh, and also, my birthday is the 3rd. Which means…

I am absolutely going to have a great birthday this year.

See… mindset shift achieved. 😆💁‍♀️

Honestly, this season is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and stretching me in ways I didn’t ask for.

But it’s also reminding me how resilient I am, how supported I am, and how much grace I’m learning to give myself in the middle of chaos.

So how am I doing?

Well, here I am. Still standing. Still smiling. Still choosing gratitude, even in the darkness and cold.

Thank you to everyone checking on me, encouraging me, and reminding me that brighter days are coming.

I feel it. I believe it. I appreciate you all.

Until next update,

-Stay Teezy 💋
