You have responsibilities at work, schedules to keep on track, relationships to maintain, children to parent, bills to pay, dogs to feed, rooms to clean, teeth to brush, air to breath!! AAHHH! Some days we feel it more than others. Maybe it's the weather, the moon, or the zodiac... whatever the case, the ebb and flow of life can raise us up or smack us down.
How do you do it? What stretches out the good times or pulls you through the crunch times? Do you run an extra mile? Schedule a massage? Maybe catch up with some friends, or hole up with a book? Revel in your children, or send them off to Grandma's!?
Is it enough to be heard, acknowledged, and understood? Share your secret for sanity, somebody could use it!
One thing my wife taught me is that you have to stop and acknowledge your accomplishments. Give yourself a pat on the back for achieving a goal. If you're looking for it from your boss, parents, husband or wife, that may never come.
ReplyDeleteMy personal rewards to myself are: a fine cigar, golfing, walking along the river, an hour massage or maybe just a margarita. :)
My kids personal rewards: ice cream or the Wii!
Cheers!

don't know what type of impatient parent, community member, or even reader I would be if it wasn't for the grace of the lovely plant given to us by our heavenly Father .....
