There have been some real things happening up till recent as I decided to just take a rest. While out and then back in the weather went all the way down to minus 44. Now that is cold. This often comes this time of the year and the only difference this year is that it's went from such drastically high temperatures for this time of the year and then the very next morning - as today it went down just really cold. I think that we all do have those times that know what our own body and the state of things are and there is a good time to just take that day of neutrality. I have as I had one medical meeting I even needed to cancel as it was far too cold. So often I don't write much of this but now and then I will as with the family it's been a hard go and one that is very hard to deal with, so I just decided to turn off any messages from them and let this one day be that of a relaxing sort.
So you draft up plans and then you put them in order and then there is that natural pull from family. And those were times of past. Sure it's the season, as when it comes to be spring it shall be a great time as I do look forward to it so.
I have had more hard days than good since I was in the hospital and so I am told by all the friends that I have talked with by way of phone - is that something has to give. The manner that I see it is not letting all this get me down and staying very determined. As I am. I am not into this control factor things nor am I into resolving every situation within my family - as now I find that it's for there own to resolve. It's not one from myself and I am going to maintain that - not within a stubborn manner but within a mature manner this is a revolving circle I find with family.
So it's time to look on the brighter things - the areas of what can come about. So often I think that it's time to take a break from everything but I think it's more in staying true to ones goals and even thought one does wish to waiver as it's a natural thing with family - I opt to look the other way and within directions that are positive and are productive.
It's hard to believe that family can drive you nearly crazy - but then again it's if you allow it.
I do the same. I turn the ringer off on the phone and let the answering machine answer. Keeping to ones goals does also include taking breathers once in a while, and as you say taking days of neutrality. One does need to make sure they are not doing more than they can handle. Setbacks should be avoided if possible. Enjoy something relaxing. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHey very much so Susan....and it does work.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go to the woods for long runs an no phone. We all have to turn the phone off every once in awhile to breath. Lots hugs. I hope things settle more. Stay warm
ReplyDeleteSame here Cinn, but it went down yesterday and I did go for a run and I am paying for it today. As it was much too cold hence the reason I look forward for several reason to the change of climate as one can over do it. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteOh that is cold...Keep yourself warm. Wishing you a relaxed, peaceful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThere's always this thing called ~ me time~
ReplyDelete... where the only character playing is the 'I' in me'. Have a good sleep tonite and pamper yourself with just the thoughts of good things and not the complicated ones.
A warmth tight hugs over do there.
we must first accept and then heal our self amigo----then we address others---for unless we are whole we will continue to be shattered by those around us---society teaches a different lesson but society is preserving itself not it's members--so---self preservation and growth is ours alone and if we are successful we will indeed be more help to those who struggle
ReplyDeleteStay positive and stay warm, Jack. Nothing wrong with relaxing every now and again.
ReplyDeleteKeep on smiling and keep safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it has been a cold winter. We all need to allow ourselves 'me' time. And it doesn't matter what it takes. Just do it, and you'll feel so much better afterwards. Hugs to you Jack!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rash, as I just had this desktop serviced and from a hard cold to a warmer day.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know...I do.
ReplyDeleteWell it's just time to relax and sometimes I suppose you have to not have a great expectation and yet realize that new days are coming.
ReplyDeleteThere were fires down there on the Northern side of Australia....I was just talking to someone from British Columbia regarding this.
