Life little lessons
I'm going to share with you and be very transparent with the intention of allowing you to see that even when life is throwing lemons 🍋 (not giving them to you nicely) like a Marvel character throwing a weapon, we've still got a choice and decisions on how we respond.
I came home from work...I currently work 7 days a week, two jobs. It's not because I WANT to. It's because I'm paying the consequences for decisions I've made in the past. But, I came home from work. Another pillow torn and spread all over the floor. I see part of a pen. A pen that's usually on my nightstand, and... my journal, eaten. Also usually on my nightstand. And... yes, that's not all, my 3rd pair of prescription glasses with the lens out, frame chewed up. They were also on my nightstand. I couldn't keep my dogs in their crates because yesterday part of the plexiglass got broken out when I left them in their while I was at work.
I've decided to call this forced evolution. Not super affordable, but effective. I've got one pair of glasses left that will not go on my nightstand anymore. I've ordered three separate journals deciding to allow the one she ate as symbolism of the destruction of the person those pages was written about. New journals for the person I'm growing into. My journal pens got put into drawers.
I went to the gym after deciding my sinus headache and pain weren't enough to stop me. Stair climber for 25 minutes level 8. Found myself wheezing decided not to push it. Came home, my kitchen was flooded, 😆 🤣 😂 Sometimes all you can do is laugh. The garbage disposal is leaking and if you do dishes in the dishwasher, like I did, it backs up into the garage disposal so my kitchen floor was soaked and if course, my pups didn't know enough to stay out of it and tracked it to the carpeting.
When you can not yell, but take deep breaths instead. When you can sit (after using several towels to dry up as much water as you can), take a shower to help clear your lungs, and even after all this, see the magic, see the beauty. Because this is ultimately life.
As frazzle dazzle as it may be, this is life. We get from it what we give to it. Look for what you want to see more of. My pups, they miss me when I'm gone and likely their past trauma haunts them when I leave. They look at me as if i mean the world to them... maybe I do.
It was time for a journal upgrade anyway and my glasses were two years old... need new ones of those too to fit the me I'm growing into. How we respond, what we choose to see, makes a huge difference.
