It's not that I don't have anything to say, not at all. Well, sometimes I don't, but at other times it is exactly the opposite. Sometimes I have too much to say and not sure how to say it! Sometimes it's just that my life as a full time working mom and wife and forever seeker of my dreams gets in the way and doesn't leave me enough time to share! I love to share my passions. I love to put my thoughts down in writing. Sometimes I think I share too much!lol! Or maybe not!
Lately I've been busy living day to day, surviving, and not dreaming as much. This is when life gets to be tedious, because I'm not living it the way I want to. It gets depressing and then I over-think and sometimes I become introverted and then I mope. Moping is no good, no way!
So I make an extra effort to not get that way, because when I do, it affects the people around me - my family, and I realize that I take it out on them because I'm denying them the better part of me. I'm empathetic, I realized this a long time ago. My empathy has also been running on empty because I realize I've been too focus driven on the negatives happening to me and around me. Do you find yourself doing the same thing? You know how it is these days, you keep hearing one sob story after another; (and when I say sob story, I mean really sad stories of other people's mis-adventures) and you keep hearing even worse in the news, missing people, dead people, the economy sucks, one country is at war with the other over 'stuff' that seems so....I don't know........I really don't know! It all drags you down! Then dealing with all that, and worry about not just your 'stuff' but 'stuff' of other people around you who are important to you, you do end up running on empty!
Deep breaths dear reader, breathe deeply....awwwwww. This is the time when you go into survival mode or you take a deep breath, send a prayer upward (or whatever holistic thing you do), put one foot in front of the other and carry on because you must. You have to look at things a lot differently than you are doing in order for it to make sense to you. Don't stop dreaming, don't stop believing, just don't stop! You will no longer be running on empty, you will be running with the joy of living and dreaming!
