January 2, 2026 If You Don't Play, You May Not Win

I debated whether I would show this but then decided showing a range of perspectives can be a good thing. The video is shaking because I am excited. Occasionally my husband and I go out for a drink and play a few pull tabs like we did this week, and this will happen. The kindness of the heavens rains down to pay for our holiday season; truly kind.  

When I play, I never play expecting to win, I just spend my little allotment and sometimes I am blessed. It kind of works that way with life too. You play your allotment and sometimes the blessings rain down. If you don’t play, you may not win.  

I’m looking at some aspects of my life right now and areas that I’ve “played” in my life and I’m asking myself if I still want to “play” in certain areas and asking myself what is the end result that I’m looking for? What direction am I trying to pursue? 

I’m questioning about taking a class this semester. Doors haven’t opened for me in areas I expressed interest in for various reasons, and I can accept this as divine intervention or perhaps a door closing to take me in a different direction.  

The difficulty I am facing is that the options I can pursue are all good. Pursuing an education that does not have a foreseeable future for it, pursuing a business where I would like to produce something marketable, and pursuing options to improve my health. These are interrelated. Pursuing them all at the same time, they seem to affect each other.  

I need education to improve my mind; I can feel my mind restructuring itself in my studies. My video business is just at the beginning stages Dswh33360Journey.com; I’m learning how to lay a foundation where we can start to do business where we can become marketable. I need mentors or leaders in my life, and I have only been able to find them in snippets; pearls of gold and diamonds of wisdom in those small moments that those have shared with me. My health; something that makes me very excited when I can improve habits to direct positive progress. 

My husband is smart; his IQ is higher than mine. He rolls with the changes I make. Someone who is not as smart would not be able to adapt to my changes or growth. I want a partner to grow and change with, and he becomes my production assistant, second cameraman, scout, muscle and whatever I need; and he has a creative eye and can sing as well as I can. It’s nice to have company in all this craziness when it hits the fan, which is what it feels like doing everything all at the same time with a full-time job. 

So, I guess this is my weekend contemplating. My class starts Monday; my video company is there and needs marketing; and my health is waiting for loving attention. No end goal in mind; I’m just playing my allotment seeing if I will win. If you don’t play, you may not win. Thank you.
