My Weekend - Contact Friends

Over the weekend there was not that much to do.  Sunday I was bored out of my head.  I know idle time is the worst as you start to muster everything and being to over think.  Thing of all that has taken place and right up to the weekend – I was doing fine actually good with everything taken into account.

Weekends off days as I don't wish to do more than five days of training a week.  Thereafter as today I am back to training and trail hiking.  Yet yesterday I seemed to hit a wall.  I ended up talking to my friend and his wife which own this place here.  I talked to Lar outside as by supper time last night I was down.  I have been having nightmares or dreams where it’s to do with family and then I wake up.  I think I might be coming into an understanding of what I had gone through the last two years with family.  I think that is coupled with a respite which has gone into boredom.  Maybe not but it so easy to fall back into the grooves of what was before and I can really be my own worst enemy as I have always had this obligatory manner and then it was cast away and as I am heading back into Saskatoon tomorrow for a check up – I think that there is something to be said about too much self time.  After tomorrows trip, when I return I wish to rekindle how I have been feeling nearly all the time.  Rather good if I say so myself.  I am going to pick up some books from which to read.  Larry had suggested some things as it was rather obvious as to how I had too much to think about.  The day after tomorrow I am going to see if I can do some sort of community service here.  I shall keep up the morning routine that I have but even if for just three hours a day right now if I can be of some service with  some place here in town.  I may even embark on something with Larry just to place something more within my routine.

As for family, I have kept it rather silent for now.  I don’t wish to go back within that space where I was and that is harder said than done.  I don’t much enjoy this situation of being alone.  I do enjoy my own self time but as well I love to be amongst people.  It’s the weirdest thing to within this situation with family and it had its strain on me as I have literally made such good progress.  But now and then I do over think things when there is that time where you do have too much time on your hands.  Yet one weekend which went the wrong direction to a Monday which has been within the pace I had devised.  All said, life is not perfect but this too shall pass and I know that one person can not achieve anything by just themselves.  I thought I would mention as I have not been on much.  But I am keeping to my routine and I do look forward to my check up with my doctor and then maybe getting a book to read and enjoying the trip and forging ahead.

Patience is a virtue yet I have always thrived on doing things.  So all said there have been allot of things which  had been getting the best of me but I know that I have to practice what I say and learn for this period in time that it’s still a day by day thing with the fall out with my folks and myself.  Over the weekend I felt like a castaway.  But one can’t over think things.  I do feel much better but I do know that I am coming out of a funk over the weekend.  Over the weekend I kept asking myself why in the world did this happen within the family?  That’s a hard one for me.  Yet I have to learn to just let all that go and focus on a progressive agenda. I am sure that tomorrows trip into the city shall be a good pick me up. And then thereafter get on with things with some good advice from my doc.

  1. My weekend was dreary too. Was hoping for family to visit and no one came over at all. I think we all have times like these...good idea to find other things to do and not to sit and think about situations...it only leads to depression...at least that is how it is for me.

  2. My weekend was okay, I think having too much time on my hands is a major factor in dealing with my depression, I go over family matters also in my head when I am feeling low, I know I cant change them, I mean we are who we are, and sometimes we just dont mesh with our entire family and so we move on with our lives. Ive been able to do that with a few members of my family and it works for me, just sometimes........I wonder........or wish it could have had a happier ending.

  3. Ours was a bit of crisis. You've helped me realize not to ask too much of the children, but both daughters showed up Sunday to learn the infusion process. Second Daughter did the process today and the temporary port appears to be working well. The week should be better.

  4. with all these happenings currently overshadowing my internal life, i still prefer and stand for who i am and for truth.Am an honest person, and expect people around me to do and feel the same way i feel but, that is asking asking moon to come down and so, i accept the fact that ... there are really dishonest people.

    ... and live simply for that is who i am.
    tight hugs

  5. "Over the weekend I kept asking myself why in the world did this happen within the family? That’s a hard one for me."
    Family, some says is destiny, other says it's casuality, in fact, all of us have a family. By chance some families are functional, others are disfunctional, let it be! a time arrives when we have to follow our own paths, if a family is supportive, it's excelent! if not, let's live by ourselves and being happy, to live is a privilege, let's enjoy this brief whisper.
    Have a nice week, dear Jack. Besos :)

  6. Yeah I agree Ruth have never been one to just place a entire hold but Sunday was very boring and I found that it was good to write on it as
    this is a respite and I suppose allot was on my mind but to keep busy with something is the best. I found that there was too much going on
    with thoughts of several things but this eve I feel much better but I am one which loves to be doing things. It shall be nice to return to the city
    for a day.

  7. Pamela, I never was one to keep idle. On the weekdays right now I go and workout and I am more focused on things. And I don't go up and down but I was just bored out of my head (as well I do go through the aches and pains of recouping after what is now two weeks of training). So that is my morning focus and then I have went out and hiked. Family right now with all that went down I am just leaving that all be BUT over the weekend I was having night mares regarding the entire ordeal. I think what this Larry said was best, I think I shall volunteer around here and see where it leads for now - that might be the thing. One side of me wishes to get back to work and I shall see what takes place tomorrow as it would take up some of my time during this period of a pause. Hence why not. :)

  8. Now that is something Grammy as I know you have had a crisis at hand. Yes this week shall be better yet I love progress and I am not one to sit idle.
    I never was within my life and I would suppose that I am coming into a realization of things. Which may be part and parcel of not thinking about them but yet dealing with them within my own way. I have never even thought or had that blandish day as I had yesterday. So it goes.

  9. This is your own write of what you are going through. I am not dealing with dishonesty Maritess. I don't really get all caught up with that.
    I used to but I don't now online or offline. Family has always been apart of the manner of what I deem within my life. Right now I have
    just kept it low key with family and within life family is a portion of life. I was going to give my brother a call but I thought I would leave it
    for now and just wait till after this month. One day had me thinking all too much and I feel better about the situation right now but I
    always am driven towards tomorrow and planning things out. But doing it on your own - well for that matter it might be a little early for
    that but that was my weekend as I was just plain out wiped out. I do look forward to the drive back into the city tomorrow.

  10. Elaine, I am coming to terms with this I believe. I was so caught up with how everyone has a functional family and relatives.
    Right now I am entirely out of the loop. I found that this very well could be a process and one that I could have taken almost
    three years ago. But it was my own choice and one can't go back but one can only forge ahead. Mind you there are things
    which do come within the territory of this respite idea, and I accept that, yet on the weekend it was not that easy. One
    side of me misses the city life and the other loves this out here.

    Some say things happen for a reason, I tend to think that we reason things out after we are out of the situation and this may
    be the case.

  11. I've gone through periods of time looking at myself deeply too.
    It was always worth the time and effort.
    Getting to know myself better and understanding who I really am is a gift that I give to myself.

  12. Greetings Jack. Just stopping in to say hi. I'm glad you did this post. Hugs. Susan

  13. Patience is a virtue but it doesn't mean sitting around doing nothing. There's nothing wrong with keeping busy while you're waiting.

    Maybe all come into balance and peace for you.

  14. I arrived home just a few hours ago as I had to head into the city Frani.
    I had a check up and as well I met with my folks for 30 minutes and things
    were much better - yet I wish to keep doing what I am doing and I believe
    that this is a period to do so. So I was told and there was a gift with happened
    while in Saskatoon and things are much more progressive than what I thought.

    I arrived back in the late afternoon and it goes alright - thanks.

  15. Susan I am reserve but within those which are contacts and friends on here I have no concerns
    in doing so. Thanks for the drop in as I just arrived back from a trip into the city and came back.

  16. DJ, I met with my doctor and although he is a GP, he specializes within the social sciences and
    after a discussion regarding Sunday he placed it all into context and then he called over to
    my folks and I afterwards went and had a good visit with them. It all went fine. I shall keep
    on doing what I have been doing and as well I met by coincidence a friend of a friend here
    in this town. So I shall keep on with this pause period and yet I apparently have made
    great strides. So as Frani had mentioned this is something which I am here to take that time.
    And I do need to let go of somethings - I was doing this and then I hit a wall on Sunday.
    But today has made a difference, I am a little tired but am in much better spirits.

    Thanks DJ! Where there is light there is love.
