BUCKLE UP BUTTERCUP

Choctaw aka Chuckles

“The road of life can be tough at times. when the road gets bumpy and rough you must buckle up and go for the ride. Every road in life is a teacher if you are willing to learn from it. In order to grow and prosper you must take the ride, just buckle up put on your sunglasses and enjoy the ride.” ― Charles E Hudson

All roads can be tough at times. We all know that sinking feeling when the path ahead gets bumpy and rough, full of unexpected twists, potholes, and detours. This most recent trip cross-country was filled with road construction in every state. I could barely get a consistent pace before having to slow down and then return to a normal speed limit only to slow down again. I felt like I was on a roller coaster. When we encounter these ups and downs in life, it can be tempting to want to pull over, park, and give up the journey altogether. But life isn’t meant to be abandoned—it’s meant to be lived, experienced, and embraced. Every road we travel holds a lesson, if we’re willing to open our eyes and see. Each sharp turn asks us to lean into trust. Each uphill climb strengthens our perseverance. And every long stretch of uncertainty prepares us for the beauty of what’s waiting just around the bend. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is buckle up, put on our spiritual sunglasses, and allow ourselves to enjoy the ride. Sunglasses remind us to look past the glare of fear and overwhelm so that we can see with clarity, hope, and even joy. When we learn to travel this way, even the rocky roads become teachers, showing us resilience, patience, and the art of surrender. The truth is that prosperity and growth do not come from avoiding the bumps. They come from learning how to navigate them with courage and faith. And when we look back, we see that every path—no matter how rugged—has carried us closer to who we were always meant to be.

Dear Angels, the road I’m on feels uncertain and difficult at times. How do I keep moving forward when the bumps feel too hard to bear?

Dear Ones, we whisper this truth into your heart: you are never riding alone. We ride beside you, above you, and within you, guiding each turn of the wheel. The bumps you feel are not punishments; they are awakenings. They remind you that you are alive, growing, and capable of more than you realize. Do not fear the rough patches, for they are temporary and will smooth out in time. Instead, see them as holy invitations to deepen your trust, to reach for our hands, and to discover the joy of surrendering into the flow of life. Every mile of your journey is precious, and every challenge is an opportunity to rise higher in love, strength, and wisdom.

Angels Whisper: Buckle up, beloved one. Trust the road, for it knows the way. You are safe, guided, and destined for beauty beyond the bumps.

Today, I promise to stay buckled in to enjoy the journey.
