Stay positive. Not because life is fair, but because you decide not to break. A positive mind sees the challenge, then chooses to rise and move forward. Positivity fuels your body as much as your mind. When your thoughts lift you, your energy rises. #RealTalk #MentalStrength #KeepFighting #mind

Blind Lemon Jefferson, "the father of Texas blues," was born on September 24, 1893 in Couchman, Texas. He was to Texas blues what Charley Patton was to Mississippi blues. “I have a big long snake crawling in my room” Blind Lemon Jefferson sang in the 1920s.
