Nuff said.

I love this quote! So true. Also, am feeling lazy and not quite inspirational so the quote doing all the heavy lifting….*shrug*….don’t judge me, peeps, has been a lllllooooooooooonngggg week.

I told myself I would actually do some spring cleaning and tackle the bathroom for a thorough cleaning. Once, done, I will move on and super scrub the kitchen floor and may fold the MOUNTAIN of clean laundry that seems to have congregated in great piles. I have NO idea how they go that way. I thought once you pulled them out of the dryer, the clothes elf folds them neatly and puts them away. Who knew…..*shrug*.

Apparently, the cooking elf has run off with the folding elf so am going to have to cook here in a bit, after work….meanies….lol.

Weekend is here, peeps. You have done your best. Enough. Get off the work yourself to death train.

As for me, I am going to do that heavy spring bathroom cleaning and kitchen floor scrubbing. Translation: going to do some more Netflix and chill…*shrug*.

be well,

Cassandra

Shaken, but not.

Things are being shaken. Everywhere. In all areas.

Yea, boy, I have been shaken, but not.

I am not, shaken, by the shakings by how the shakings are shaking and helping to make me.

Nah, world, I’m good.

Shake on, Tyrone!

Do your thing, misgivings.

Do you, shaking, and I shall continue to do me.

As was 007, I find myself to be shaken, NOT stirred.

Ah, yea, circumstances, I see you. Yea, boy, situations, I ain’t worryin, ain’t studyin’ you.

Do you, shaken. For, I shall NOT be moved, and/or shaken.

I remain:

Steadfast.

Steady.

Ever, ready.

To do this thing, called life.

I am never, no never:

Defeated.

Permanently, cast down.

Discarded.

I, got this, world.

No need in your needing to see what I be doin’ ’bout you. World, I be doin’ ME! I don’t NEED your say so, world, to be about being about this life. I got God and Life, on my side. I got, me, on my side. I got fam, on my side. I got a few homies/homettes/beloveds, on my side.

There, I don’t mind being shaken.

Cuz, I am NOT stirred.

Circumstances, situations, the world, people, places and things can, shall and do do their thing(s).

To THAT, I say….ha!

For, I am…

Shaken, but not.

What you got, beloveds? I DARE you, to declare you, to let this world know, whose, who and what you can, shall and WILL do!

Where is YOUR:

Mike drop.

Ha!

I got this.

You don’t scare me.

I’m going to do me?

Yea, beloved(s), I, am calling you out. God and Life, have been calling you out. This world, has been calling you out.

What say you?

Real talk: I’m living my life with intentions.

I’m living my life, beloveds, with INTENTIONS.

The things I am doing, trying, being, having, I am doing, trying, and being WITH intentions.

On, purpose.

WITH, purpose.

Because of, my purpose!

I no longer wonder, no longer wander, wondering why I am wandering.

Alas, wondering and wandering, have their purpose. Yes, they are needed.

Yet, the time comes, when both the wondering and the wandering shall cease, shall subside, shall have their end.

In their place, purpose shall abide.

In their place, intentions shall arrive.

Embrace, them.

Release, the former.

Behold, old things, pass away.

Behold, old things, SHALL become new.

Let, them come.

Let them, become.

What, they were meant to be.

So, you can be, have and do all that you were meant to be.

You CAN.

You WILL.

You’ll do.

Trust, this.

Trust, Him.

Trust, you.

Trust, IN you.

You got this.

getting this with you,

Cassandra

Real talk: Here, STILL.

I am:

Here.

Right, here.

STILL…

Standing.

Demanding:

The void, to give what it owes me.

Life, to release what It has promised me.

Me, to receive all that God and Life have freely offered me.

I am:

Here.

Right, here.

STILL…

Rejoicing.

Commanding:

The void, to give what it owes me.

Life, to release what it has promised me.

Me, to receive all that God and Life have freely offered me.

I am here.

STILL.

As, are you.

Hang in there, beloveds. You got this. Truly, you do. You may be going through, trying to figure out how to go through, wondering if you have the strength/energy to go through, arguing with yourself about whether you are going to do the work of going through.

No matter.

Whatever.

However, you find yourself.

It’s, okay.

Beloveds, YOU, are okay.

Just, as you are.

However, you find yourself.

Here, STILL!

*mike drop*….*Cassandra exits stage left*….ha!

Now, what? What, now?!

Now, what, defeat, asked me?

What, now, I said, as I looked down at, the feet of the defeat that could not, would not EVER, defeat me!

Now, what, the void, asked me?

What, now, I said, as I scoffed at, the mouth of the void that could not, would not EVER, remove me!

Now, what, discouragement, asked me?

What, now, I said, as I laughed at, the heart of discouragement, that could not, would not EVER, discourage me!

Now, what, sadness, asked me?

What, now, I said, as I rejoiced at, the spirit of sadness, that could not, would not EVER, keep me!

Here, I am.

Still, here.

NOW, what!?

you damn right I am,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Still here? Here, still!

Still, here, defeat asked me?

Here, still, I shouted back!

Still, here, the void, asked me?

Here, still, for God and Life, have got my back!

Still, here, discouragement, asked me?

Here, still, this world has not seen the last of me!

Still, here, sadness, asked me?

Here, still, joy and hope, sustains me!

Still, here, God and Life, asked me?

Here, still, nevertheless and however, I shall ALWAYS be!

Still, here?

You damned right, I am!

You have done your work. Now, enjoy your evening.

Okay, beloveds. You have done your work.

Time for you, to enjoy your evening.

Yea, you heard me.

ENJOY IT!!

Don’t go staggering, into bed. At least, not yet.

Enjoy your evening. If not for 15 minutes. Do SOMETHING you enjoy. You have exchanged a day of what in the fresh hell is going on around here, haven’t you?

As have I.

Initially, I was going to cry uncle, aunt or whatever relative I could to tap out on this day. Once called, I was going to head to bed and stay there until morning slapped me ’round til I woke up already.

Nope.

Not doing that.

Not today.

Life is much too short.

Going to see what random dumbness, romance, sport like, educational, NOT educational, foolishness/seriousness I can find on the telly. Ask my why I am calling the television the telly and I will say….don’t ask me. Even added a British accent for additional flavor…*shrug*. MY evening. Can spend it how I want to.

How you spending yours?

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Moral of the story for those in need of a moral of the story:

Life is short. Nuff said. Get to enjoying your evening already and leave the morals for tomorrow….sheesh…hehe….gnite all.

Let patience have it’s perfect work in you.

Okay, so is 0 out of 4 a good score?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!

It’s called humor, people. Get and try some…*smile*.

Life is short.

We can do some truly dumb things.

Add those things together and…*shrug*.

A whole lotsa patience will be needed and or required.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Rinse.

‘Nuff said.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

P.S. STOP giving yourself such a hard time. You ARE doing the best you can. Cut yourself a bit of slack already! If you are going too slow, for some, let them go on by. If you are going too fast, for some, keep it moving. You too fast for them anywho…*shrug*.

If you are going too slow, for you. Tell yourself to go on head and kick some rocks, and cut yourself some slack. Rinse. Repeat.

You got this. God and Life has us all.
