Well there it is - Friday has arrived. It has been an interesting week and despite all the turmoil along the way, I woke up this morning and I felt great! I contemplated all the happenings from Monday to Friday as I had my morning cup of tea and I felt completely content, inspired and ready to tackle the day ahead - which is going to be a busy one!
Nothing real in life is perfect and things don’t always unfold as flawlessly as we might intend - but at the end of the day, the important thing is that we are able to hold our heads high and that there is peace of mind and heart. It is interesting how as you get older you learn to develop a higher level of inner strength and self-respect. When you start to realise your worth as an individual and that nobody can take anything away from you unless you allow them to, the challenges you face become that much easier to overcome.
The fact of the matter is that we will never be able to please everybody and not everyone will consider us their cup of tea - but that is ok. If we all got along seamlessly all the time, then nothing would ever challenge us, there would be no lessons faced or insights gained… and ultimately we would never grow internally.
Not all situations are positive, but there is always something positive that can be taken away from them. I am happy that I stood my ground this week, despite it taking its toll on me emotionally. I also realised just how much love I have in my life from the people around me - taking a moment to truly process that made me appreciate just how enormously blessed I am.
I read a quote earlier (shared below) which so aptly depicted the experiences, reflections, realisations, feelings and truth regarding these last few days… and the second I read it, a sense of calm came over me because it was like a perfectly timed confirmation for the choices I made and the steps I took – a closure of sorts if you will – and this is important in our lives, especially when things get messy or we take a scary but brave stand for something.

Didn’t know that quote but I can for sure related to that. Certainly with the real life drama I had this week!
Enjoy your Friday!
Indeed! Hope your real life drama has all cleared up and you have a super Friday too xxx

Hey @jaynie
I must have had my head up my own ass with stuff going on in my life. I've clearly missed what's happened here.
From my point of view you are someone I respect and value the opinion of. You're a great ambassador for steem and you are incessant in your work rate and dedication.
I've told you before, how much I appreciate what you do for me and all of us in our very cool community, and that statement is more relevant now than ever.
As much as it's possible to trust somebody you have never met face to face; maybe one day that will change, I place my trust and faith in you.
As always, thank you for being you and doing what you do for us.

Yup definitely you cannot please everyone. I am glad that you stood your ground because that is the jaynie that we know. May you have a pleasant day ahead of you and as for me weekend starts now lol.
A very true and beautiful quotation.
Have a great weekend @jaynie, I know its been a tough week in our Steemworld! Great quote and soooo true :) Thanks for all you do for us, you're amazing!
Words well spoken - a true depiction of life and what gives it meaning!
Keep on being strong and know you are loved and supported!
This week was a real eye opener, lets hope for the best but also prepare for the worst. I agree with the quote, specially with the trust part. Some people should not take it for granted because they trust themselves and believe that their way is the right way.
