Don’t let the darkness fool you. Get out your flashlight!
I have to keep reminding myself that every time I allow myself to focus on the waves and the hard that I tend to get discouraged. Otherwise, my day goes by pretty joyfully.
The holidays are hard for me. Being alone, they remind me of Mom, now gone. I miss her.
I almost found myself wanting to wallow in despair. I refuse to allow myself that luxury. I can’t afford it. I have one life to live. I have just this one life to give. I can’t waste these moments.
Since I didn’t know what to do about my dreams, I decided to encourage other folk to continue to pursue theirs. It made me feel better. It made me forget about my disappointments and discouragement. Doing so helped me to refocus on the goals that I have for my future. I remembered I do have a future. Still.
Be encouraged, beloveds. We still have a future. There is so much unrest and unsavory things going on in the world. It’s easy to want to give in to despair and hopelessness. We can NEVER do that. Never, no never, neva, not going to happen on my watch people!!
When it gets dark, just turn on the flashlight. Remember that the sun will shine and have her time.
I turned on “We Are The World” and am now serenading half the neighborhood. Poor neighbors…I sowwy.
Beloveds, this world is what WE make it. Let’s do what WE can, in our corner of it, shall we?
I love you, beloveds. More than you know. I pray for each and every subscriber and for all of your families. Especially for the nonbelievers out there. I don’t blame a one of you. In fact, I would like to take a belt to soooooooooooooooooooooo many folk who defiantly call themselves “Christians” who act like hell on wheels. Don’t get me started…whew..*Cassandra prays for all knuckleheads, er folks, who need some serious act right and a boot to the rear or…*…..oppps….lol.
Laugh, beloveds. Live, beloveds. Life is short. Life is so much more than chasing a bag, focusing on the hard, and being disagreeable to folk who don’t agree with us or look like us. Let’s all do better towards one another okay? Mini rant/lecture over. Listening to “We Are The World” ALWAYS makes me want to run around hollering at everyone to love one another. Things keep going the way they are, beloveds, you just may see a viral TikTok with some old, crazy, black woman tearing around the neighborhood hollering “love one another, already!”
Have an amazingly, awesome day.
asking for A Friend,
Cassandra
