Aug. 31st, 2007 09:19 am A very close person in my life called me at the crack of dawn this morning to tell me she may be splitting up with her partner of 6 years. OMY. I can relate in many ways. "We do what we gotta do" (a message from my father my whole life). Taking ownership for one's happiness is key is pretty much the message I gave her. No one person will make everything HAPPY and GOOD and SHINY, etc. Why is that myth still perpetuated? They fell in love, got married and lived Happily ever after. BARF!
NOW...to take my own advice!
I am on top of laundry mountain. NO, not literally, I mean I'm stopping it from forming. For today ;)
Still clean in more than one sense...YAY.
The picnic went off in its usual chaotic way. How do you do that without chaos? I just don't know. I'm able to do what I can, though it is clear more help was needed, I could do no more AND remain sane enough to stay a leader. Boundaries are good, but it does suck to see where we need more help and I'm just not willing. But I've heard over and over and over, "Do what you CAN and be honest about what you can do...and let it go." I did and I do. I'm writing it here so I can vent it and let it go. We'll see if it works. I still find remnants of the "if you can't do it perfectly, don't do it at all" crap in my head. WHAT can I do PERFECTLY? HUH? WHAT? Yeah...exactly.
Today is full of tasky goodness. Grocery store, floor, dishes, laundry...here I come. And what better thing to do on a day where the air looks yellow/green when I look out my door. Rain for sure...if I were in Minnesota I'd say thunderstorm. I rarely can see the sky here, though. It's weird to never be able to see the sky. Why is that. Mountains, all the buildings and houses. Yup.
OK. Self care first. bye and have a good day.
