Dear Gladys, Hi! You seem pretty swanky and put together. Sometimes I have a hard time feeling motivated. I wake up in the morning knowing that I'm fortunate to be alive and blessed but all I want to do is sleep. How do I get back to the place where I am excited to get up everyday and tackle life's new challenges? Sincerely, Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Dear sick and tired of being sick and tired,I hear ya! There are days when I just want to lay down and never get back up. Being motivated is hard but it's harder to know what to be motivated for. If you wake up and want to go back to sleep, don't ! If you want to work out, do it ! If you're making an excuse like, just one more episode , don't do it. Every time you make a deal with yourself your taking away time that you could have doing other things. Life is short. Although I have nine lives, you don't. If you can find one thing a day to accomplish, you'll feel so much better. Once you realize it didn't take that much time or effort to do that thing. You can imagine all the things you can accomplish. Set a goal and meet it. You can do it, trust and believe. Yours truly,Gladys

This is so important

Dear Gladys, I really like this girl in my appartment complex. I see her around like everyday and I'm trying to build up the courage to ask her out. What do you think would be a good first date spot? Just drinks? Food then drinks? Just dessert?

Lunch is always a great first date, for a lot of reasons. People are less likely to turn down lunch. Dinner can feel too formal. Drinks can insinuate sex and you risk not actually being able to hear the conversation. Lunch is laid back and casual. It's chance to get to know each other. The best place is somewhere that you know the food is good and lots of choices. You don't want to take a vegan to a steakhouse. The plus side is if it goes well you can go to the park or walk around afterwards. No "It's actually pretty late." I hope it goes well!!

Hung up on Ex

Dear Gladys, I went on this date with this really nice guy. He was sweet, empathetic, and cared about what I said. However, I still missed this guy I had recently been seeing. What do I do? I want to give this guy a chance but how can I when I miss this other guy? Should I just stop seeing him altogether? Love, 

Typical girl hung up on an ex 

Dear Typical girl hung up on an ex,

New people in your life are tricky, especially when you’re still holding on to something from your past. For now, you should try to just think solely about the guy you’re seeing. Avoid comparisons as much as possible. He is not your ex and your ex is not him. Being close to your new man may help you feel like there are other fish in the sea. Give it a shot, keep trying. If you don’t put yourself out there, ain’t nobody gon’ find you. 

Love,

Gladys

Friends are basically my family

Dear Gladys, 

I recently visited my best friends and had a great time. They are the greatest friends you could ask for. I love them so much and I just want them to know how lucky I feel to have them in my life. I kind of grew up in a family that had a hard time expressing affection and love in a healthy way so it's hard to know how I can show them my love. What are some ways I can show them how much they mean to me? 

Love, Friends are basically my family

Dear Friends are basically my family,

Everyone expresses love differently and it certainly is a wonderful thing to share. I for one, love jumping on my moms while watching them sleep at night. I’m not sure they like it. But I know, that they know, I love them. You should share your love in the way you feel comfortable. If they love you, they will support and nourish you. Always communicate how you feel even if it’s a simple hello or snapchat. It’s the little things that make us laugh. 

Love,

Gladys

Here’s your word of the day: Alcazar

A Spanish palace or fortress of Moorish or

It also kind of look like Hogwarts

Here’s your word of the day: Bumfuzzle 

confuse; perplex; fluster

It even sounds like the spell to make someone confused.

Throwback to summer time. Suddenly it’s now cold again.

Trying to be a Good Friend

Dear Gladys, 

I've been good friends with this girl for several years (8+). Unfortunately, she has this belief that she is just not cut out to have a job like most people. It seems like she could use help when it comes to finding and keeping a job but she's just not willing to admit it or seek the appropriate help. How can I be a supportive friend but also be honest? Love, 

Trying to be a good friend

Dear Trying to be a good friend,

I have had many people in my own life, like this. It’s hard to support people who don’t accept help in the way you want to give it. You can’t make people try veggie bacon just because it’s better for them. It’s gross.

 All you can do is listen and respond in a way they might understand. For example, your friend is having a hard time keeping her job; maybe she needs to make herself a job. Something she wants to do and has control over. Be your own boss. 

The real key is to motivate the people you love without investing too much time yourself. You don’t want to get taken down by their shenanigans. Some of the greatest minds were not accepted by society, but they failed before they succeeded. 

Love,

Gladys
