Love YOU.

Don’t wait for others to come along.

Be good to YOU.

Don’t hang your head because you may be alone.

Love on you. Speak kindly to your heart. EVERY day. Don’t let one day go by without your tending to the garden of your heart, beloveds. Get the weeds of apathy, doubt and despair out of there!

There are days when I am not feeling too lovable. Especially when I am feeling every second of my 55, now almost 56 years. Then, I just feel like a cranky, old damned lady!..*stomps foot*.

During those days I try to be especially kind to my terribly cranky and old self…lol.

Love YOU, beloveds. There is only ONE of YOU. Every time I think of that, it fills me with awe. There is only ONE me. In all the land. Out of billions of peeps, there is only ONE me. A good thing, eh?…..hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I have been under the weather for a good week or so. Am feeling almost like myself. So, I jumped up, put on a kettle of water, for coffee, fired up the laptop, and determined to get my 10 pieces done.

I forgot I was sad that I still have no idea what the future holds for me. I’m used to knowing, darn it all! I’m used to controlling my days based upon work hours, taking care of the entirety of the world and generally being on call ‘in case’ I may be needed for some such a thing. SMH.

Now, I make sure to get in my me time. I have set, and have kept, boundaries around me and my time. Time is precious. I let folk know when I am available. I let folk know when not TO CALL ME AND INTERRUPT MY WATCHING OF NFL FOOTBALL. YALL KNOW I DO THE REDZONE CHANNEL EVERY SUNDAY…lol.

I have also gotten used to turning OFF the phone. Period. NO YouTube surfing. NO show watching. And, I have been turning my phone back into a phone! I think folk spend entirely too much time scrolling! Geeeeeeeeez, yall, put your phones away and enjoy your family and friends already!…..*Cassandra sheepishly crawls down from the soapbox she has apparently clammered on*.

N-E-Waze, I just stopped ’round to remind you, beloveds, to love YOU!

asking for A Friend,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I have spent hours and hours praying for each and every person who comes along. I even pray for those who shall never find these words. Be encouraged. If you are currently going through it, know you WILL get through your it. Be sure to take some laughter with you, today and share it with your neighbors. Speaking of sharing, I just made a pot of coffee. Who wants some?

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
