It was a time where there were was much too much going on again here. I don't wish to loose friends on here as this was a time where it was much of the same likes as last year and that does tell me something. I love the occasion but situations with family came to be way too much for myself. I can't handles the stress of it.
I don't mean to complain but I knew this was all adding up. I do have to take a review within my own self. Sometimes on comes to feel as if there is a stalemate within their lives and now it's not a don't hope - it's a must within some transitions.
Now I look forward to some relaxation and there must recommence the enjoyment within my life and that shall only happen with my own self. There was much that has come down within this last year. And I am reviewing over my own goals as far too much has been lost within the tending to folks and one other. My brother didnt make it out - as even he could see.
He never did make it and I just do draw a blank with the entire situation. Family some are functional and some are very dysfunctional and as well it has cost me much over these two years and I know I do have to make some real decisions.
family issues are very stressful, I too need to manage my stress level better.
ReplyDeletePamela I believe in looking within as today for a period of time I shall and then the management of this
ReplyDeletewell I find that it's been far too long and I suppose that a blog is not where to place it but I did within friends.
Family issues are the most taxing and can effect so many areas of ones life I have learn. But from
what I learn I think break out of that funk and get on with it. This year was far more than what I have experienced
within the past.
sometimes we will never find what we crave in our own families, hence the saying family is not always blood related......I have had to walk away from family members for my own sanity. sometimes its necessary.
ReplyDeletegood luck

ReplyDeleteYour right .... family issues drain you mentally and can cause stress so much that one forgets to enjoy life because this occupies the mind so much.I hope that in the new year that you will find some peace and that you will start and enjoy life more in your own manner . Have a happy new year my friendRosiex
So true Pamela...
ReplyDeleteJust arrived back on here this eve chuckle - never clean your keepad while the computer is still on! :)
good wishes Rodney.
ReplyDeleteIt's true Rosie yet between now and the New Years will be a rethink time.
ReplyDeleteSome thinking it over time for our own self, a lot of cleansing, purifying and then we come up to a solution. I wished everything will be better for you this coming New Year Jack ...
ReplyDeleteIt has been for years thus it's a time where one does take into consideration everything and does not just look ahead but goes ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt always was that way and again shall be within a new manner.
within a new manner, i like that. The coming new year hopes to bring a lot of good, better things to all of us, in a new refreshing manner.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, I am so laughing. I traveled home to be with my family, for 3 weeks! Far too long, they are batsh*& crazy. Drama, who can deal with the drama? I am reminded why I moved, so far away. So nobody calls me in the middle of the night for some drunken emotional drama, so nobody calls me to stay till they feel better, so nobody drops in unexpected to talk about an emotional issue. I'm not any good at any of the emotional stuff. I tend to withdraw like a turtle into it's shell, or a clam with it's shell closed solid shut tight. I like to hide myself, till it's safe to come out again. I love my family more than life itself. I need my family but I am sensitive and as I've aged I have to have down-quiet and still time to be peaceful and of use to them. It took a little while, but I remembered I am visiting, now. And when I go back to my tiny part of the world to go back to school, walk alone and be alone--being here temporarily is bearable, bordering on the verge of pleasant! I told my sister before I came, how long I'd be around this time that she'd get sick of me. She's quite brilliant, she responded with the excitement and love of a little sister, "no, we won't get sick of you because we know we won't see you again for a year." and she's held up mostly her side of the deal. Family, you can't sell them or trade them and nobody could love you like they do...nobody could touch your heart at such a depth as they do...family.
ReplyDeleteI have lived a large portion of my life since I was 17 nearly away from family yet in honor of them - it's a time of the year where I find that there is so much "stuff" which takes place. I have always loved my own time and I think that goes pretty much for everyone and as you say you can't sell then nor can you trade them - nor would I wish too but it has been a time where there was everything catching up and I can honestly say that I am glad that the festivities are now over with MEE.
ReplyDeleteBeing geographically close does add responsibility, which adds stress. Praying the new year brings calm comfort.
ReplyDeleteIt does Grammy yet I have one more write which I wish to place on here. Change shall happen not with all things but those which are prudent.
ReplyDeleteoh family can be so draining.. sometimes its just a decision and sometimes we just cant..
ReplyDeleteI just arrived back on here as Tori and yeah there are times it's hard to say no - by the way a belated Happy Birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteWell put and I totally agree!
