Beat the heat: Don’t let the heat beat you.

It’s hot.

*stamps foot*

IT’S HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

I HATE being hot. Detest it. Get to pouting, in the midst of it.

I must admit, sadly so, I used to get up all in my feels, when super hot, and refused to keep on stacking the day(s). So much so, I would:

Pout.

Stomp around.

Tell the rest of the day, up to and including a work day, to kick rocks and would fuss and fume amongst a pile of cool comforting eating.

How did this help, you may ask?

It didn’t.

Why did I act a complete fool when super hot?

hhhmm….

NO good reason, to be honest. I just did a lot of all up in my feels feeling and gave myself permission to act ten kinds of fools and feel sorry for myself because God, Life, fam, work, or whatever/whoever was getting on my last nerves were on my last nerves and the heat was just the last straw!…lol.

I have learned, over time, life is just too short to be wasting allowing heat, real or imagined, to keep me from doing all I know and all I can to keep moving forward.

There is something that happens inside when a mama gets lowered into the never regions, of the earth, where you can not follow. It makes one not want to waste too many more seconds acting ten kinds of fool when heat, life, situations, circumstances, were all up in the high 100s.

I must admit, it’s not easy, when life keeps smoking ones hind end. Whew!

During those times, just keep pressing on. The best you know how. Then, leave the results to do whatever the world they do.

Be sure to keep your joy with you. When you find it has been buried under the heat of life, scrounge it out of there, dust it off, and keep going.

This day, hot though it may be, is fantastic. The only day, today, I shall have. Tomorrow, should she graciously come, shall be completely different then today, THIS day.

Besides, there is nothing hotter than your will to succeed! Ha!

chiling in the heat of life with you,

Cassandra
