I made pudding. I whipped said pudding. Poor pudding.
Anger wanted to turn into apathy. Both lazy and later said “to hell with that” and ran off to get act right.
Act right came storming in and sat me down in front of my try. My try asked me to be patient. I told try that I would keep trying…shhoooooot!
I am not going to list all the awful 📰 news I saw today. I am genuinely 😡 angry. Taking 1 billion 💵 dollars away from feeding young people and school lunch programs has me furious and horrified.
Listening to an Idaho school teacher who is fighting to keep up a sign that says “Everyone is welcome” because the school district says “not everyone agrees with that”, because the sign included children’s hands, of all colors, has me heartbroken that schools are actively teaching students to see folk of color as less than and not welcome.
Ah, beloveds, what are we all doing? How can this be?
I do my utmost to keep this page uplifting and light. I’m over my mad now. I gave myself a good couple hours to be mad.
Now, I shine my light. Be encouraged, all. Love as many folks as you can. Lift up as many hearts as you can.
Keep pursuing your dreams. Work on them today. Even if just for a few minutes. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your 🥅 goal.
The morning was terribly frustrating 😤. I used the frustration to my benefit.
Promise YOU that you will NEVER allow bad/sad news to make you turn away and run from folk. Promise yourself you will NEVER allow these things to cause you to give up.
Keep looking UP. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. This, too, shall pass.
Enjoy yourself. In whatever state you may find yourself.
Take some time out of your day. Just enjoy the day. You don’t have to learn every single second. Do something just because. Take a long nap. Take the day off. Take the time to do you.
Have a wonderful day.
asking for A Friend, Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I’m tired today. I think I will shut it down early. I think that will pop some popcorn and watch movies. I have been working hard since 4:00 o’clock this morning. Tired was getting really tired. I think I will save the world tomorrow.
Give yourself permission to leave the world saving to others for a day.
Note: I feel helpless. I feel hopeless. I feel a tad worthless when it comes to making an impact. Thankfully, my feels don’t run me. Thankfully, none of that is remotely true.
I just stopped by to encourage those who are damned tired of all the what in the fresh hell is going on in the world.
Be encouraged. Be good to you as you wait PATIENTLY for your efforts to bear fruit. Your fruit may have been meant for others to eat. Mine as well.
I may never see my 🌿 plants bear their fruit. Did I plant just so I could eat? Did I plant so all may eat? Did I plant for recognition? Did I plant because I was asked to? Ah, great questions. I plant because I care. Periodt. We fight on.
Note: 514 days. Consecutively. Encouraging folk. Asking for folk to give a damn. The Bible says, “Let us not grow weary, in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, IF we faint not.”
What purpose have I served? What good have I done? Who cares, right?
I have been watching a movie where there is this guy who has been fighting injustice for five years. Every time he gets close to winning, he loses. I’m damned tired of watching the bad guy win because nobody wants to give two damns enough to…*sigh*
I would dearly love to pack up my light…*sigh*.
If there is someone who gives two figs, say something encouraging to the class. I am going to go finish the movie and hope the good guy wins.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
