Life is a balancing act

Everyone has obligations to their family, friends and work. So what makes me any different than anyone else? I feel a bit overwhelmed. I LOVE being busy, but lately, for some reason, I am a little off balanced. I feel like I am trying to balance too much right now. Julie described it as one of those people that spins the plates on the long thin sticks? TOTALLY.. I am a plate spinner! This is how I feel. At any moment, my plates are going to come crashing down.

So today, I am going to let it go. I can only do what I can do.  I have to let it go and accept that I am one person, and I cannot do it all. Even though we all want to be a super mom, I need to accept that I am only human.

I have been making little mistakes here and there. Forgetting things and being easily distracted.  However, TODAY... I will concentrate on doing one thing at a time.  I will continue to write my list and to follow up and keep checking on my list. Set my priorities and balance only one plate at a time.  If I do just one thing at a time, I will get more things completed and not with so many mistakes.  We all go through these phases, and we get through them.

All this is happening because of crazy events that have happened in the last couple of days.  A particular situation I am talking about happened Thursday morning.  It started off just like any other morning but then chaos.  Let me just say that Thursday morning events made me stop and think...a major reality check.  It was a scary morning, and everything is good now but the cause of the event has now taken an  effect on my life.  Because of Thursday morning, I was confronted by an angry woman who is channeling her anger to the people around her because she does not know what to do herself, I feel sorry for the people that this is all happening to and at that moment I was filled with rage and resentful. UGHH...really?  Why was I feeling so much anger?  However, when I sit now and talk about Thursday, I am filled with intense disappointment with this individual.

However, there is nothing I can do to change what happened on Thursday morning, and I cannot  change or control how people react, but what I can do is control how I feel and act.  I accept that we are all human and we all make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes, and we grow.

On the brighter side of the story. Due to the events on Thursday morning, I feel like I have a better relationship with my neighbors, and I am truly grateful for my family and friends. I feel blessed with the happenings in my  life, and I have more to celebrate vs. being ashamed.


Today I accept hat I have not been on top of my game the last couple of days. However, TODAY is the day I obligate to get better.  I CAN DO IT!  Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.  I feel better. Hope you have a great week.  Until next time!  Have a good one!
