This has been such an interesting week so far. But one highlight, was meeting someone I hadn't seen in a while for coffee... After talking for a bit, the comment was made that I have my head in the sand... :-)
I've thought a lot about that, and proudly, I do! Not like some people I know with rose colored glasses (*wink - you know who that is Mom*) I don't pretend things aren't there. I take them for what they are and then sort in to my "Buckets"
There is a lot going on in our world, and in the lives of the people around me and friends and family and co-workers... I get that, and have sympathy, empathy and worry for them... My heart aches in some situations. And I help where I can.
But when it comes to work, I have a Job to do. When it comes to our home, I have a Job to do and when it comes to myself and my life... I have a Job to do.
I'm so thankful that I have a job, a home, a family. I'm thankful that I had the for-site to see life with only one career in our household and plan accordingly. Even if Hubby doesn't do something the way I would,at least he did it. We are healthy, and we eat and live healthy... I have the knowledge now to do what is right for our family and I'm thankful every day for that..
I can't do it all while thinking about the negatives. I can't be happy for myself and those around me if only thinking of negative things. I can't provide good support and solutions, if I'm only thinking in a negative way. Remember the Buckets?
It becomes hard to be thankful for things that are good, if your always stuck thinking of the things that aren't. And so I have my head in the sand... And I really really like it there!! *smile*
(Ok, not really, I can't stand my head touching the sand, it totally messes with my hair....)
