I am FINALLY resting.
Sorta.
Kinda.
More and more.
I finally gave myself PERMISSION to ENJOY some real time off. For years, beloveds, I have been wanting to take some extended time off. I have been wanting to spend a good month just enjoying football, writing, sleeping, yakking with family/friends. Rinse and repeat.
I kept telling myself I would do this. Some time. Someday. Someday would never come. There was ALWAYS another bill to pay. There was ALWAYS another person to help. There was ALWAYS work to be done. Somewhere. For someone. For some reason.
I find this terribly hard to admit to…*sigh*. If not for the tornado, I would have continued to work myself into the ground. I would have continued taking more time off, than I was working, because I was just too tired to complete a full work day.
My get up and go had long since gone. Still, I was too busy forcing myself to work beyond what I should have, could have, or wanted to. I no longer wanted to. I wanted to stop. I wanted to rest. I needed to.
I didn’t. Life stopped me for me. The power went out. I had no choice…
When the power came on, Life sat me down and asked me what I was going to DO with ME?!
My heart was wounded.
My soul was tired.
My spirit was exhausted.
I looked around, at the destruction, and chose ME.
Work tried to force me to work. I told work I was not able. Work told me to make a choice.
I looked around, at the destruction, called me, and chose ME!
I’m glad I did. Now, I pick up the pieces. Slowly. Painstakingly. Lovingly.
This me, beloveds, that I am fashioning, is an interesting conglomeration of a potpourri of things. This me, I fashion, shall be:
Amazing.
Amazed.
Magnificent!
Who says so? I say so!
I am worth this time I am taking to do absolutely nothing. So are you, beloveds. It’s time you start taking the time to do the foolish things you have been wanting to do forever. Don’t wait until destruction befalls you before you take the time to take the time off.
Yes, you shall have to meet, greet and defeat your fears. A good thing, eh? We got thangs to do, don’t we? Let’s get about being about our thangs.
Ready?
Set?
Let’s go!!!
asking for A Friend,
Cassandra
