Forgive me oh beings of financial fitness, I have sinned. I lost a $10 dollar rebate check this week. It makes my .30 coupon I used for yogurt fade. I still have two wedding gift cards I was supposed to give a YEAR ago. I have two birthday checks on my desk which should have been cashed over a month ago. It shows such a total lack of respect for the great need that surrounds me. I really don't want to know how much money and pain I have created for myself over the years. The blogosphere is full of self-revelation I know. This is more of a call to change or a plea for help. How did I read those five books last month?.....Well, that should be obvious. Life and motherhood are about choices.
Try it
I suffer from mild depression in the winter. Just when I think I am going to not make it, a sunny day will give me a boost for a couple weeks. So, as the winter and dark days approach, I realize the shadows are starting to creep into my psyche. I become more anxious and less tolerant of failings in myself/others. Today was a brilliant blue sky with bright sunshine. I ran through the leaves with their crisp sound. They had that "fall leaf" smell that is a mix of musty-clean. (I know that doesn't make sense.) I lifted my head up to the sky and tried to absorb the light with its wonderful life. If you are thinking ugg my life is hard lately, "I can't do this", my job sucks, I think I am going crazy...(or is that me ?) , go outside, run through the leaves, absorb light and breathe. Go outside during lunch, go out during Saturday, take the kids on a walk, whatever. It helps me to remember that light is there. Well, eventually the light comes. What do...
