Count your blessings, not your troubles.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.

Count your steps, not the cost.

Count the rainbows, not the raindrops.

Count the laughter, not the tears.

Count the memories, not the endings.

Count the moments, not the seconds.

Count the benefits, not the obstacles.

Count the efforts, not the outcomes.

Count it ALL joy, beloveds.

counting with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: So often, beloveds, we focus on the wrong things. We stew over negatives. We count all the losses and nary a one of our successes. Enough of that!

I have spent a wonderful few hours writing, writing, writing and more writing. I didn’t give one thought to what I don’t have. Bills have taken a backseat to making my now as fantastic as I can.

I spent most of my life working myself into the ground. For what? For whom? I don’t regret working hard. I love hard work. I am just learning to prioritize taking care of me whilst I am working hard.

Life is what WE make it. Our circumstances do NOT determine our day. WE do. I am seizing THIS day. I am not wasting a moment wondering how I will make out tomorrow. Tomorrow will bring what tomorrow will bring.

I am going to take the entire month of September to do nothing but enjoy NFL, family, God, writing, snacking, sleeping, blogging. Rinse. Repeat.

I plan on spending October learning how to make inspiring videos I can put on another WordPress page requiring a subscription. My words ARE worth something. I shall see how much. Maybe, nothing will happen. Maybe, everything will happen. I shall see. I have always wanted to. I was just too afraid to bet on ME. No more. I bet on me. That will be enough, for now.

Bet on YOU, beloveds. What have you been yearning to do? What in the fresh hell are you waiting for?! Get out there and do the thing. Try. Fail. Get up and try again. You have NO idea how far you may go. Neither do I. I am excited at the prospect. In the meantime, I am enjoying being me MY way. How about you? Asking for A Friend.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
