A Bit of Honey

by Doreen Washington

Have you given up on the spice of life and having a bit of honey? It's not too late to enjoy a relationship after experiencing a bad one. It's not too late to anticipate a good life after experiencing some turbulence. It's not too late to experience a bit of honey. When I think of honey, I think of an experience or taste that sweet. Your relationships with your significant other, with your friends and family can be sweet. Your turbulence with life can be sweet. The image of who you are as a woman can be that of a sweet expectation. You can have a bit of honey within your world. Life and all that can be offered doesn't have to leave a memory of distress and despair on your heart. Notice that I said can be. It's completely up to you as to what taste you will have left in your mouth. Will it be sweet or bitter? Have you forgotten the wonderful feelings of love, peace and joy that are yours to have and hold? We have to decide to hold on to the treasures of faith, learning, loving, life experiences, family and friends. Our quest should be to endeavor to pursue these things without looking back or having a feeling any guilt. We're made to experience a bit of honey in this life and without it we experience a breakdown in our functionality - nothing seems to work right without the sweetness of a bit of honey – experiencing a good life.

When will you decide to have a bit of honey in your life? Whether it's love, business, faith, or family and friends; experience the sweet taste of honey – the good life. When will you decide not to allow the circumstances of life or the lack of a good life control the taste in your mouth? We must learn to appreciate every portion of life, the taste of bitterness, heartbreak, loneliness and no self worth, will allow you to develop yourself and replaced the bitter taste with a bit of honey. We have all experienced both good and not so good within our lives but stay focus and decide to enjoy your life. You only have one life to live and it's yours for the experience and yours for the enjoyment. What will you decide to enjoy - a bitter taste or a sweet taste? I encourage you to try a bit of honey. We are woman!!
