Slowing down

in



to a crawl, it seems - in all aspects of my life and not really liking it much, except for a few insights. Specifically- i've got to take better care of myself. I don't know, I just thought I could go on forever at my once usual frenetic pace.

I am starting to (having to) appreciate the one thing that i've got done today, instead of dwelling on all the things I didn't get done.

I thought I was actually appreciating the slower pace, time to think, notice, reflect; but maybe too much time.

A friend just recently pointed out to me that my blog posts have slowed down too. Am i thinking too much?? Has the muse taken a vacation when i wasn't paying attention.

Am i still clearly depressed? or just lazy as we have always known. Crazy I guess - did you notice the we there? Both, i reckon.

Or maybe i'm just too hard on myself. My arm is still bothering me and is a big bother!! I'm a middle-aged mother with marital problems. I'm not thrilled with my job anymore (key word - job).

Well I think i'm done complaining, whining and otherwise making excuses, for now
that is.

I prefer the term "venting" -- expressing frustration or fear about your life among a supportive group should never be categorized as whining; we all have difficulties and all need outlets -- our blogs just happen to be a good place for that.

Please know my prayers continue to head your way for a recovery in all phases of your life:-)

Slow or fast doesn't really matter, as long as we keep going, right?a And no, you're not whining!

Patry's right. You're not whining. You're finding the rhythm that's right for you. Maybe allow yourself a bit of trial and error?

Hard on yourself? Probably. (It takes one to know one! :-)).

(((rdl))), with as much going on as you have, it is no wonder to me that you might have slowed down for a while. Pain — physical and emotional — drains energy rather than restoring it. That's not whining, that's reality.

It won't always be this way.
