Happy Wednesday!
I'm trying to make sure that this is kept up weekly and I woke up this morning at 6am thinking that I had such a busy day ahead that I should really get up and write something! Fell asleep with that very thought in my head and got up, as usual, with my alarm at 7.14 am. So this posting will be brief, I think as my day involves running from pillar to post.
Actually, that's how this past week has felt, although I always can reflect on how many times I've sat chatting with my hubbie, as if there was nothing to be done!
It's all about perception, I think. I could choose to feel sorry for myself because of all the chasing around I've got myself into or I can see that it is my choice to do exactly that. And I luckily am balanced enough in that dept to see that the latter is true and that I'm fine with it all.
Sometimes we get caught up in the whole "why does it have to be me" or "why do I always have to do that" or "why doesn't he/she do that instead of me" and that's a resentful place to be. I know that I'm there when the fact that I'm the one who always has to clear up the toast-crumbs begins to enter my head! In reality, I choose to be bothered by the toast-crumbs on the counter. They don't bother anyone else! So, I choose to clear them and if I'm feeling resentful for doing so, I know that I need to go and take some Willow, which is for the "poor me" that I'm feeling!
It's such a simple thing to do which changes my whole perception of things and I clear up the toast-crumbs without even registering that it's a task.
If you're someone who let's little things that you choose to do make you feel resentful towards others, who don't share the task......take some Willow and realise that there's no point in wasting your energy on huffing because you think that "life's unfair". Let go of the resentment and know that you and you alone are responsible for the things that you choose to do!
Okay-must go but might try to write between Wednesdays or even try to be more flexible and write whenever I feel like it????
Be Happy,
Lx
