Reality of Life: I am back – it has been a while.
Sometimes, you need to know when to take a break.
A family member that lives far away had recently got into a car accident. Having to deal with it through great distance and time change is never easy. I helped another family member get ready to go over and assist and I must admit – travel today has taken on a whole new meaning.
It takes a lot of time and effort to get everything in order to fly – the paperwork was very interesting and time consuming. We got them off and away to help out and stay there for a while, so a lot of things had to be dealt with.
Trying to find help online and do my part and get things in order was also quite time consuming.
Then, I was just getting things reorganized here and back into my life and then a friend of mine – a few years older than me died suddenly – he had a heart attack in his sleep.
Between these two happenings, it gives you that jolt of reality – it makes you think.
Anything can happen at any time.
It just reinforces the past few previous posts that I had created.
It also makes me think about making my peace with things, people or whatever or whoever.
It has been a couple of weeks that seems more like a whirlwind and everything around here looked like a tornado touched down!
So, I gave myself this weekend to get my life back under control before starting to post again.
I tidied, organized and cleaned my house – it helped clear my mind and helped me feel better. I did lots of laundry that had piled up. I also colored my hair, did my nails and a face mask. I also took the time to watch a couple of movies and relax. And I let someone run errands for me, so that more got accomplished without me having to do everything.
It gave me a boost.
After living almost half a century, I finally know what I need to take better care of me.
Remember, either you control of your life or it is controlling you – only you can make the choice.
Questions to Ponder:
Do you give yourself the time you need to reflect, regroup and recuperate?
Do you help others but lose yourself in the process?
Is your life a whirlwind?
Have you read my previous posts?
Do what you need to do to take care of you!
