what my nightmares are made of

should have used the leg of the mannequin though, obviously

🤔

Did you build the desk too? Looks like old doors?

Yep, they’re full size solid doors from an old office industrial park building. They’re so heavy I can’t actually lift them completely off the ground more than a couple of inches. In my home office they sit on saw horses in an L shape.

We just have to take life day by day and lean on those that love you and care about you, You are a good person Travis and everyone has times when it’s hard to get out of bed and do anything but we just have to keep on trying for our selves and for the people we love and cherish!

Thanks 😊 Right on with everything you said!

We trade back and forth. Last year you helped us. When you are taking that next step we’re all out here pointingthe flash light or moving chairs out of the way to help you get there.

Definitely, you’re guys are some of my most favorite peeps!

We need to see one another so tell me when you are going to be in Ottumwa!

I’d like to get there in August but be aware I’m not this cool in real life.

Yeah I know lol

Struggling helps you grow and if your not growing your not living. Life is about growing. It always gets worse before it gets better.

Yep, and as I’ve read, “growth is messy” ;)

I was thinking recently sometimes I just need to not do the wrong thing. (Unloving thing).

For sure! One of my biggest prayers when struggling is, “please help me not make this any worse”

Mine at some difficult times “please save me from myself”…at times when the old subconscious tapes were undermining the positive input I was installing with the help of many friends and mentors. Hang in there no matter what, brother.

Sounds like life’s ups And downs challenges and joy in freedom I know I would never trade where I am with my current life challenges for where I was …God bless 1 foot forward …today is all we really have

I feel ya.

You are not alone. I never thought adulting would consistently be so hard. But know you are doing it well whether you think so or not.

“Consistently” — how I hate that word. 😊

Sounds like my life. Prayers are a big part. I luv your posts. Helps me smile and laugh. Something I rarely do. Keep moving forward. 😊

Glad you enjoy them!

You are not alone. You are surrounded in spirit by peeps that love and care about you. This too, shall pass.

Yep, we never are 😊

Even though you do this more for you than us, it helps me too.

Good 😊

Thanks for sharing. Glad I’m not the only one that struggles like you so eloquently expressed. It seems like one day totally sucks, but the next might be just a little more tolerable. Maybe even great! You reminded me that I’m not alone in the struggle of single family life.

You are most welcome! And that’s totally true… we’re never alone in our struggles.

Me: INHALE…EXHALE🌺🌺
and then have ICE CREAM🍦

YES!

That’s a lotta cheez balls, bruh.

Yep

I love the pic. Very “Devil Chair”.

Here’s more context to the picture. This was “wrassling” in Portland, Oregon.
