Long Weeks and Great Husbands

After a very long week emotionally, I am extremely happy that today is Friday. My work week doesn't end until 5pm, but at least in my mind, the week is over. 

I really didn't accomplish anything on the personal front. Once again, I am so far behind with dishes in the sink, a house to clean, book reviews to post, articles to write and laundry to do. I have basically two days to get it all done. Not looking forward to my weekend as I won't even get a chance to catch my breath. But I am not holding my head down because there are signs of hope.

My husband went to the grocery store yesterday, and bought groceries - very nice! Once less thing to do this weekend. My husband bought me a new cellphone last weekend - even better; and I found my power cord to charge it; I had temporarily misplaced it, had a subsequent meltdown because I lost it. However, my techie husband told me that my Kindle charger would work and I was able to charge my new phone without a problem. 

So you see...the hubs has really stepped up this week and provided some support when I needed it the most. He hasn't even minded as I watch Christmas in July holiday movies every night for the last couple of weeks. He's a great guy and I am so appreciative beyond words. Just love him to pieces!

Wishing you moments of reflection,

Reflections of an Old Soul

I think I was born old, or at the very least, inhabited by someone's soul, older and wiser than I. Decisions in my life seem to have been guided by this entity and have led me on a very interesting journey. Over the years, I've had to do things I wasn't happy about, and on more than one occasion, I've said, "Why me?".


Getting to this place in my life has not come without a few moments of self-doubt. As a young woman, fresh out of college, I had a lot to learn. I still feel that way today as I tend to be fairly critical of myself. Overall though, I don't have any regrets.

Why? Because regrets are nothing more than bad feelings over lost opportunities. But wait! Are they really lost opportunities? At least that's what I originally thought. Then, I had a huge epiphany and began to wonder if they were indeed really lost opportunities, but merely chances for happiness presented to us in a different way.


Hmmm...

All the pent up frustrations and anxiety seemed to diminish to the point where I could finally focus. The tension in my shoulders began to melt away, the circles under my eyes started to diminish, and as funny as it sounds, my hair started to grow back...it came in gray...but it was coming back.

I began to look at things differently. I listened to my inner voice, believed in those gut feelings, and I followed my heart. All is well.

I am at peace. And the old soul living within me is smiling... 


Wishing you moments of quiet reflection,
