Good morning, everyone!!!
It's the end of my five days off and another work night will begin in six short hours. This is definitely something I can get used to.
This week we wrapped up the camping season by winterizing the camper at my sister's. It's been a beautiful and wonderful experience this year :) Now it's time to get things around here in order and prepared for the up and coming colder months ahead.
Sis and I still have a few things left on the canning list. However, with five days off each week that shouldn't be a problem. I also have to get this house deep cleaned and ready for the up and coming months ahead.
I truly feel like I can get back to living the life I have always enjoyed for a change. Plenty of time to get and keep things in order. Plenty of time to get back to some writing (something many have reminded me they haven't heard out of me in quite a long time).
I feel the excitement in the air once again, which is something I haven't felt in a long long time.
The weekends are slotted for working. So I remind myself I will not expect too much out of myself on those days. I will take what I need out of these weekends and give myself the break I need to maintain my mental health. I've always been my own worst enemy when it comes to pushing myself into getting the most out of myself.
As most of you know I am a list maker. So, it begins once again, making to do lists are something I haven't done in a long time and have missed terribly. I've had no energy for it. It's strange how you think about the things you loved to do and how when you haven't done them for awhile it does effect your moods.
I like order, but my life has been full of disorder for so long now, it makes me almost giddy to think I will be able to get back to my system of getting things done. I've got no plans for forcing anything, just letting my natural flow of things make things happen around here. I will listen to my inner voice and follow it's lead.
Sometimes that's all we need to do in this life. Not tell it to shut up you have things to do, but really listen to what your body is telling you. If it's tired let it rest. If it has energy in abundance, give into that energy and push your marks.
I've always been one who felt amazing after a good day's work. I've never minded hard work. I've always been a very physical person. It's part of my DNA LOL. I've always needed physical work combined with brain work to balance myself. Hence the reason for a day job and a writing job.
This year has been a beautiful year of lessons learned and applied to my life. I've always said you are never too old to learn if you only open your mind to what the world has to teach you.
Some of the lessons I've learned this year has been difficult to swallow. Some have been like a light bulb coming on. I've learned what belongs in my life and what does not. I've learned to not make excuses for the people around me, but to take them at face value. I was reminded how much I hate negativity in my life, but this time I learned the important part of that lesson, leave the negativity at the door. I've learned that even though this new job is very physical, I should have been doing this all along. It allows my mind to wander into the areas of my 'brain work' life that is vital to keeping it going.
After all the stress of the last few years I finally feel as if I'm on the right path to putting myself back together. I'm in control of the changes I want to see in my life for the first time in a long time. That is a powerful feeling to say the least.
If you ever find yourself lost in your own life. Feeling powerless to the things around you. Take a step back. Give yourself a few moments to reevaluate things. If something/someone is demanding more from you than you want to give, then maybe it is time for a change.
Remember, you are someone meant for great things in this life. Even if those great things in life are simply being the best person you can be to yourself.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
