Ah, beloveds. Life has been cutting up, today. ALL day.
I have been fighting, all day, with:
Missing mom.
Missing mom.
Missing mom.
Which, makes the day(s) especially tough to get through. I HATE days like today. Not the day, itself. Just the fight from having to keep on fighting. Just the stress from doing my best not to stress. Just the frustration from not allowing myself to remain frustrated due to happenings and happenstance.
I have been thinking about Justin. ALL day. Wondering if he is hanging in there. Hang in there, Justin!
I have been thinking about Britta and her lichen. I HAVE to get to her blog, tomorrow, and catch up.
I have been thinking about Silent Knight. ALL day. Wondering what he has been wondering about as not able to get to his blog in the past week. Ack!
I turned off my phone, beloveds, this past Saturday. Even, my writing phone. Yeppers. I told myself that I HAD to decompress. I have been running on empty, for weeks. For months.
I told my friends/fam I was going to go MIA. They said they understood. Ha! Soon as I made my declaration, my phone blew up with texts and calls that HAD to be taken.
Yet, for the first time, ever(!), I listened to my heart and told myself to turn off the phone. To rest. And, to not feel guilty/bad because I NEEDED a break. A friend texted and said they ‘had’ to talk to me. Right then. Immediately. I had nothing. So, I said nothing.
Today, I was confronted with my meanness in having chosen me. I was advised that this person could ‘leave just as well as they stayed’. Simply because I was not available in the instant required.
I replied:
“I wish you well. I shall keep you in prayer. You shall NOT hold our friendship hostage. You may have it”.
Care is a two way street, beloveds. STOP giving your care away to folks who place conditions upon your love and your heart. Wish them well and keep it moving. LET them go. You are:
Amazing.
Awesome.
Amazingly awesome.
There will be plenty who will love you. In the meantime, keep on loving this hard headed world. Folk need what you have. Be encouraged.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
caring anywho,
Cassandra
