I’ve been hopeless lately, mostly because my life was so hectic these past months and now that it’s over, kind of, I don’t know what to do! Most mornings I wake up dead and spiritless and this morning I decided that I really have to start putting my life back together again. I have to reclaim the person I once was. I have to find that woman who always found the positive in everything, the one that could laugh at the drop of a hat.
Some things stay with you forever. They creep into your mind when you least expect it and cause you immense sadness. Perhaps it’s because I have seen so much illness, grief and death these past months. I’ll be driving in my car listening to a song on the radio when suddenly thoughts of my poor M.I.L. or my beautiful dead Boxer dog pop into my head and I start to sob uncontrollably.
My question is this, why is it always the sad thoughts that creep in and not the happy moments? Through the tragedy of these past months there have also been times of great blessings, joy and laughter. I think it’s simply a case of emotional overload.
I want to become a Hermit! I want to be in the middle of nowhere with only my laptop and my Hubby and no other people for thousands of kilometres. Hermit-hood seems very appealing to me at this stage.
In January Hubby and I are going on a much-needed holiday. We both need to get away from the problems, the pain, the shopping lists, telephone accounts and phone calls. I must get away so that I can focus on who I am and what I want out of my life. I have to really look at every tiny and large detail of my life and learn to appreciate them again. I need to see the fullness of my life and the love of the people that are in it and realize that tomorrow may never come and that today is a gift which is why it is called the ‘present’.
I have piles and piles of magazines and books that I have put aside in the hope of reading them; they are going on holiday with me along with the skimpy pajamas and sexy underwear! Oh, Merlin’s Beard! If take those item of clothing I will probably have no time left for reading! Lots of people my age, pushing forty, oops, pushing fifty still do it, you know!
