Don’t be afraid to change corners.

I love my Cali King!

It’s HUGE!

I can stretch out, in ANY corner!

Ah!

I am a creature of habit. Or at least I used to be. Rather, I am trying hard NOT to be, a creature of habit!

In my lovely, lovely HUGE, Cali King, I find myself flopped precisely in the middle. Oceans of corners and sides, just waiting to be enjoyed.

Yet, as creature of habit, I found myself flopping, dead center, leaving oceans of corners and sides, undiscovered and unexplored.

*sigh*

One day, my heart whispered for me to move over, just a smidge, just a tad, just a mere inch, from dead center.

I moved.

Just a titch.

Just a hair.

Just a breath shy of dead center.

I wasn’t ready, you see, to move a whole…*gasp*…smidge, away from dead center!😳

Yikes!

Egads!

However, I COULD try, a twitch, a hair, a breath.

I moved.

Ah.

Aha!

I found the world had NOT, moved on it’s axis. The world still stood! A wonderful rest was had by the whole world. Okay, maybe just me but still.

After that, I moved some more. I flopped this way and thataway. I flopped sideways. I clung perilously, at corners edge. I flopped on EVERY corner!

Now, I make a habit of having no particular flopping habit. Life is awesome when you take some of the limiting habits, from your life.

Yes, positive habits are imperative. I’m talking about habits built just because we ALWAYS did this. We ALWAYS went there. We ALWAYS sat here. We ALWAYS go there.

Why?

Great question! Keep asking!

Why do YOU do some of the things you do?

Oftentimes, we do things for no other reason then what fam does, what friends did, what peers do.

From time to time, it’s good to take stock of our why.

Why, are we continuing, to do this?

Why, are we choosing, to believe that?

Why, did we say no?

Why, won’t we say yes?

You may need to move over, just a titch, just a smidge, just a hair, on order to refocus, re imagine, re invigorate, your life and surroundings.

I feel good about the life I am building. Yes, from time to time I need to flop, in a different corner. But, I am having fun exploring different corners of my life.

Enjoy your life, beloveds. Enjoy new corners. Enjoy flopping this way and that way!

flopping with you,

Cassandra

Note: Whatcha still doing here? You posed to be flopping around somewhere. Get a 😁 going.

Gratitude: Your attitude will adjust your altitude.

If your altitude, is in need of adjustment, beloveds, go on ahead and adjust your attitude.

I have told my act right to get and KEEP some act right!

It’s amazing, what showing gratitude can and WILL do, for your altitude and attitude.

I was down in the dumps, the other day, for no other reason then making the choice, to get all up in my feels, for no good reason.

Nothing had changed. The hard was no more hard, than before.

Okay, so the hot was hotter. But, I had been doing well in keeping positive.

For NO reason, for whatever reason, I CHOSE to pout, fuss, fret, complain and waste a perfectly good morning/afternoon, slapping all kinds of extra hard, on things, because of a low altitude, stemming from a poor choice of attitude.

After a long pout, er, sad, er, nap, I adjusted my attitude. I spoke aloud, my gratitude, in how far I have come.

No, I am not there yet. Hopefully, I will never grow comfortable, with where I am. Content, yes. Comfortable, no. I have NO intention of living a life without intention.

Have to jet. My walk awakes. Just told lazy, vertigo and the heat to go on ahead and kick rocks.

You are welcome to join me.

walking whether I feel like it or not,

Cassandra

Keep fighting with the King.

*sigh*

The King is waiting for me…

*sigh*

*pout*

Okay! Okay!

I’m coming!

*Cassandra clamors down from The Father’s Lap and heads for her fight with changing the sheets on her Cali King*

Huh?

Oh, you thought I was fighting with THE King?!

😂😳💪

In a way, I am. Fighting WITH Him, to make my dreams, come true.

Fighting WITH Him, to keep my act right, acting right.

Fighting WITH, not AGAINST HIS Will, for my life.

It’s not always easy, doing the hard thing, ALL the time. It’s easier, it appears, to sleep on sweaty sheets.

EEEWWWWW!

Speaking of sheets, it’s time for me to get to wrestling with these Cali King sheets so I can have a delish nap, after my shower.

Yeppers, I have been about being about it!!

Say that, Cassandra!

Get it, Cassandra!!

Make it do what it do, Cassandra!

You CAN, Cassandra!

You WILL, Cassandra!

Be encouraged, yall.

being about them thangs😂,

Cassandra

In the meantime: Transition.

Transition.

Transition, can feel like a four letter word.

Transition, is ZERO fun.

Transition is:

Maddening.

Frustrating.

Scary?

Feels like we are:

Dangling.

Falling.

Failing.

Failing to:

Land.

Win.

See.

Know.

Do.

We are unable to DO, in the middle of the transition!

Blast it all, we just want to DO!

Transition…

*sigh*

It is during the transition, in the meantime, it’s crucial not to get in the way!!

Breathe.

Rest.

Use the time, to pack your essentials and fave things.

Use the time…

Ah.

Aha!

The Cook IS preparing the meal 🍴!

Wait.

Wait, patiently.

In the meantime?

Enjoy the breadsticks!

🤷‍♀️😂

waiting patiently,

Cassandra

See the good.

I like this saying.

I CHOOSE to see the good.

Seems like the world us forever choosing to see everything but the good.

I choose to see the good, in EVERYTHING.

Doing so makes it awfully hard to fuss and complain.

I am CHOOSING to look forward to the upcoming work week. I choose to do all I can/know, to make this week as successful, as I know how.

I choose, to reach out to others to let them know they are loved and not alone.

I choose to see the good, in others and give them the opportunity to choose to see the good, in me.

I choose.

I see.

The good.

Ah.

Aha!

choosing to be me,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

YOU: Change things.

YOU change things, beloveds.

Things, do NOT change, you.

Things, will NOT change, until YOU, change things.

How?

You…change.

Therefore…changing things, in your life.

YOU change:

Perspective, of YOU.

Which helps you, change YOUR perspective, of others.

Causing a change, in how YOU, treat others.

Causing a change, in how others, treat you.

Habits, created by YOU.

Which helps you, choose positive habits.

Causing a change, in how YOU, value and prioritize, YOUR time.

Causing a change, in how others, learn to prioritize YOUR time.

Things, meaning money, objects, circumstances, situations, outside forces, and the like, do not change you.

YOU change, according to your CHOICES, which change your FOCUS, which makes the outcome, almost besides the point.

The dream, YOUR dream, is simply a vehicle God, Life and The Universe uses to get YOU to make changes in and for YOUR life.

You are waiting, on Them. They are waiting, for YOU.

Change things, beloveds.

How?

Great question!

Keep asking.

Cassandra
