You can do it if you want to.

You can do it if you want to.

You can do it!

You can do it if you need to.

You can do it!

You can do it if you have to.

You can do it!

Do you WANT to?

Then do it. NO excuses!

Do you HAVE to?

Then do it. NO excuses!

Do you NEED to?

Then do it. NO excuses!

These are the things I told myself, beloveds, when I found my want to wanting to go back to bed instead of starting on this week’s goal.

My goal this week is to get myself on a regular work schedule. The times are not crucial just now. I am just rebooting the habit of getting back in the work habit…lol.

Going through tough things can throw of the hardest of souls. Especially hard struggles, over a long period of time, can zap the most positive spirit.

These super hard days have been teaching me how to CONSISTENTLY forcing myself to try and DO whether I feel like it or not.

In fact, I don’t allow my feels to have a say in how the day shall go. I tell my feels that they WILL get some act right, or I shall put my 👢 boot up a behind!

I am about to reward myself with a cup of coffee ☕. I really DID want to hop back in my comfy bed. Lazy attempted to convince me I could start tomorrow. I sent lazy to make the ☕ and hurry up already! As punishment, I told lazy NO Danish with the ☕!…*mini pout*

When you find yourself wanting to talk yourself out of things that will help you achieve your dreams, make yourself do a chore. It’s a win/win. The place gets cleaner. You will find yourself slowing down on listening to lazy or not right now.

You can do it if you want to.

Do it whether you feel like it or not!

I made later help lazy.🤣🥰

“Later”.

That’s what lazy said this morning.

Okay, I said. Then, I made later go help lazy and get chores done early.

Early got mad for having been thrown in for no good reason.

Uh,oh got in trouble for laughing as I made it go wash the dishes.

Scram took off as was smart enough not to get caught up. It said it wouldn’t be nuttin’ if it didn’t do nuffin’.

Laugh just laughed at all of us.

I told them all to kick rocks and went in search of something to do…lol.🥰🤣

Have a wonderful day. Get some good laughs in there somewhere.

Life is much too short to spend it worrying about everything!

Clean as you go.

Ah!

Lazy was being extra lazy. So much so I made it get up and make some chili!😆

The 🛏 bed was looking mighty fine this morning. I went back and forth with myself about waiting until “later”. I made later help!

Mom taught us to “clean as you go” whilst cooking. That way, once everything is done, you don’t have a pile of dirty dishes!

Now, I have chili done, dishes washed, and ready to get on with the rest of my day.

Be sure to clean as you go. Do what needs to be done. Don’t wait and let things pile up.

Yes, I know, chores can be monotonous and mundane. Life can seem monotonous and mundane. Do them, anyway. Do life, with joy, anyway.

I’m lifting up every heart that is weary from doing the damned dishes already!

Be encouraged.

Filling the other half: Empty yourself.

Empty yourself, beloveds, of the fear that you carry so that you may have/be an empty vessel that can be filled, fully, with:

Love.

Hope.

Joy.

Laughter.

Faith.

Integrity.

Tenacity.

Compassion.

And a million other things you will need in order to make your way, SUCCESSFULLY, through the rest of your life.

I would be a billionaire if I had a nickel for every time I have heard how the glass is “hall full” or “half empty”.

No one talks about filling the glass all the way up. Until now. Until me…lol.

It’s time for us to empty ourselves so we can begin to be refilled with all those things that grow and prosper us and all in our path.

Unfortunately, we all have allowed ourselves to be filled with all types of foolishness. What’s worse, WE have filled ourselves with such nonsense with the utter lies we have been telling ourselves ABOUT ourselves.

Enough of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s time for us to empty ourselves from all the things holding us back.

Life is short. Let’s get on with it, shall we?

Creamer anyone? Don’t judge me.😳🤣

I wanted coffee. I was trying not to stress.

I was stressing. Just a smidge.

I put on the kettle for coffee.

I took out instant coffee.

I took out creamer.

I took out sugar.

I yelled at the kettle to hurry.

Kettle told me to shut up, stop stressing and wait.

Wait said “Yea, chillax Cassandra! This is EXACTLY why you are all stressed out!.”

Nosey got all up in the business and called instigator so they could laugh at my anxt.

Next grew annoyed over being woken up and told everyone to shut it already!

Kettle, now annoyed, FINALLY howled it’s displeasure.

Steam, now also mad, spew all over every which way.

I didn’t care. I wanted coffee.

I demanded for spoon to get to work spooning my coffee, cream and sugar into my coffee cup.

Coffee cup tried to let me know it’s not very smart to get smart and demanding with spoon. No telling what spoon may do.

*Foreboding and forewarning music starts to play.*

Undaunted, I told spoon to hurry up already.

A few minutes later…

Coffee presented itself to me. Annoyed, I snatched lid and huffing whacked it on my cup. Lid AND cup snorted in outrage. Spoon told lid and cup not to worry and quietly said “hehehe” where only lid and cup could hear…

*Cassandra takes a sip of coffee*

Hhmmmm.

Hhmmm?

*Cassandra wonders why the coffee tastes weird*

*Cassandra peels lid of coffee cup and wonders why the coffee looks so darned light?!*

Oppps.

*Cassandra, being a tad stressed, accidentally forgets to add coffee to the cream and sugar*

*Cassandra decides to cut herself some slack. Cassandra apologies to cup and lid and pitifully asks spoon to make some coffee.*

LOL.

Unfortunately, a true story. Just thought I would send a smile your way, beloveds.

Don’t allow stress to stress you. Make the most of things and keep it moving.

Keep going. Keep trying. None of us can know the outcome of our try.

Be encouraged.

Put your love out into the universe.

The world needs the love that you have inside. The world needs you. The world needs what you have. The world needs what you are.

I have been praying for you and asking God to help you to continue to be you. I have been asking a life to open its doors to you. I have been asking The Universe to cash in your bounty.

Your life is more precious than you will ever know or understand. I have been up all night praying for you. I have been asking God in life to show you the way. Oo show you your path. To help you get there.

I don’t know what life has in store for you. I pray that your day and your year be filled with fantastic blessings. I asked for your path to be made straight. I asked for your ears to be open so that you can hear where you need to go. I ask that your eyes open so that you can see how to make your dreams come true for your life.

Be encouraged this day. This is an amazing day. This day was made for you and I to enjoy. I plan on enjoying my day. Please enjoy yours.

Keep putting in the work.

I’m putting in work.

I have spent hours working on my dreams.

I have been studying. I have been writing 📝. I have been daydreaming.

I have been putting ACTION to my hopes, my dreams, and my try.

Life is short, beloveds. Keep putting in the work. The outcome of that work is not our work/problem.

Then, after you have put in the days work rest!

We got this. We really do.

Hey Rob!

Hey Rob!

I hope you are okay. I am thankful for you. I have enjoyed your comments, your humor, and your CARE. I look forward to more emails! I owe you on or two…*delicious shiver*.

There are several folk, like Shannon, that I would like to call out and say thanks but afraid they will go into hiding. I have been praying for and thinking about Shannon every since she commented the other day. I want to ask her how she is doing. I want to tell her that I wish I could take the hard out of life for her. If she happens by,  beloveds, let her know she is loved and appreciated.

There are a few folk who regularly stop by and wink as they scroll through. You know who you are. You are selfless. You are giving. You don’t force yourself on others. Yet, you are persons of integrity and you care. You think your efforts have not been seen. They have been.

I thank everyone who has stopped by. Every heart is important to me. I wish I had enough money to pay every bill, to lighten every load.

I can’t do that. I can pray. I do. I can sing terrible love songs to and about you. I do. I can tell you awfully corny jokes in the middle of the night. I do.

Ah, beloveds. Be encouraged. Keep looking UP. Keep moving FORWARD.

Be sure and work on your dreams today. Be sure to love on you today. Take care of that beautiful soul of yours.
