Hello Monday! Like a bad penny - aren't you! Always turning up when least expected. I mean, I always know you're coming, but you never just take it easy. Sit back, chill, don't rush. Let Sunday take her time! And then when you do make your arrival it's to the sound of a bleating alarm, causing panic and mayhem as I remember the million things I didn't get to do in preparation for you because Sunday had me so tightly wrapped in her cushy and comfortable arms.
On the other hand though, it's good that you do always come around. Life without Monday would mean...well, it just wouldn't be good at all - and so I should be grateful for Monday.
What's on my awesome list today? Well, to be honest the entire weekend was awesome. Starting with the arrival of the folks on Friday afternoon and culminating last night in the EPIC, MONSTROUS, INCREDIBLE U2 360 concert. Wow!!!!!!
Inbetween those two wonderful events was my little girls' birthday party - they had such fun, a real blast! We put on a good party - if I say so myself :-) S did a great job with the cakes, he really pulled it all off on Friday while I was at work, and got so much done.
This morning, however, besides experiencing a major exhaustion-induced brain drain, I felt sad and flat. Empty. I'm one of those people who constantly needs to have something to look forward to or plan for, and so for the last few weeks I've been looking forward to each of the spectacular events happening between 3 and 15 February. Well, 15 February is almost here and I've been dreading not having something to plan for after that. No holiday on the horizon, no fun things planned.
Hence the emptiness this morning until an unexpected but hoped for message beeped through on my phone and I remembered my own advice on how easy it can be to change one's emotions by consciously altering one's thoughts. I gave myself a good shake, bought myself some much-needed food (comforting carbs and an ice cold coke) and Monday suddenly seems a little more manageable.
The bottom line though is that it really is time to face the stark reality of the decisions that must be made in my life. Time to sit down and really think, instead of pushing those thoughts away. Time to look at the finances and work out how I'm going to manage. Time to start reading that book given to me by a good friend to help me figure out what the hell it is I really want from this incredible opportunity we call life. Time to weigh up certain friendships and decide if the way they make me feel really means they're worth working for...
Do you know what I mean? Some friendships are just so one-sided. You try and you try but then when you spend time together with those friends, you're left with a knot in your tummy and a head full of doubts. We also just can't keep up, you know, with The Joneses - so to speak. Not that that should make a difference - but it does. Maybe just to me, but it still does. There are some relationships that just need to be let go of...
Lots to think about -
and that's why I need my bottles of love, peace and abundance.
