I’ve spent the last few days immersed in other people’s woes and all that talk about misery loves company is baloney. I want people to be happy and I’d like to revert to my pre mom going in the hospital state when I was relatively blissful. The truth is that sometimes people get stuck on the same continuous loop. I heard from some about the same issues that have plagued them since it seems now time immemorial and my frustration is that I just want to shout, get a new problem! Or get over this one. But my empathy lets me know that some of these issues are universal problems. Like take the plight of the single woman who wants to find a mate – endless conundrum that just gets worse exponentially as we age. Take the plight of the single mother, no small issue here as I’ve been discussing recently. Take the plight of the ailing parents, the orphaning while old feeling, the loss of someone so important to you that if feels as if a piece of you is dying as well and that again is universal.
Some of these issues pass on their own accord, some of them are ones we tend to get stuck in and can’t seem to find a new groove.
I was speaking to a mother of two today and she said she was blindsided by the second pregnancy and if you would have told her three years ago that one of her biggest accomplishments on a single day would be not losing her mind after all she did was walking behind a two year old and a four month old and pick up crap off the floor she would have said, no way. But now she says it is what it is.
Agenda for the day – get through it. Flower sent me a note pad that says that.
How about agenda for the day – count your blessings, disrupt old patterns that don’t serve you anymore, and bliss out?
