Hey everyone...
First off thanks for all your great comments and advice. I think everyone feels better knowing they're not the only one dealing with a certain situation. So far regarding what I wrote about last time (trying to set simple goals and not worry so much) I'm happy to report that it's working. This week was very fast paced and busy, but everall it wasn't as stressful as some of the slower weeks I've had. One thing my hubby and I did was choose Monday night as our "Date Night." If someone told me a few years ago that I would have to plan time for my husband and I to be able to go out and be with eachother, I would have thought they were crazy... turns out... I'm crazy for thinking spare time would just magically appear when we need it. The idea of focusing more on now rather than the future is not as simple as I thought it would be. It actually does take effort to be content rather than a worry wort. But... it will be worth it to put the effort into something that will help me relax more and not worry so much.
On to a new topic... do any of you know people who don't know how to say "Goodbye?" I'm not talking about a bad breakup where one person refuses to let the other go... but what about those people that won't let you walk away from them, or will never say 'I have to get going..." If you don't know what I mean consider yourself lucky! If you do know someone who seems to have this human version of seperation anxiety, then you understand the extreme frustration the other parties feel when trying to make their escapes. And I used the word escape because honestly that's what it feels like when you finally end your conversation or meeting. As an onlooker watching such a conversation I laugh to myself because it is so easy to see the frustration on one persons face while the other is completely clueless. I just don't understand how after saying 'OK, I have to get going,' or 'OK, I'll see you later,' or anything that would clue someone into that the other person needs to leave, that the person hearing that just keeps talking and bringing up new subjects and so on. It's funny, but at the same time it's almost painful to watch or be a part of.
Anyways... my focus for this week is to just slow down, not get caught up in what's happening everywhere else... I need to take a step back and realize how lucky I am to have a warm place to come home to and a loving man. And, in the spirit of short and to the point... I'm going to go watch the Dallas game... see you guys later
