Grumpiness

No comments

Lately I have been struggling with a bit of grumpiness. 

It’s not out of control but it sits there under the surface, tugging at me.  You know…just a low level crankiness.  And with that crankiness I find that lately I am noticing everything that I DON’T LIKE.

The Best Change Begins with Mistakes

No comments

While I find this statement really annoying, looking back I can precisely recall the times where I have 

  1. Radically blown it
    And guess what?
  2. I learned. A TON.

This week has been a (freaking) week of lessons.. I wish lessons were best learned through those bursts of ideas that you get while driving, looking at a sunset or after a really great glass of cabernet. But NO. Most of the time they come from silly mistakes.

Where Do You Plug In?

No comments

Over the past 15 years my views on what it means to “have issues” have changed. Sure there are people who have serious mental illnesses – and that absolutely cannot be minimized. It’s important to act quickly and thoroughly when someone has acute health issues. Yet I have come to realize that most of us are just dealing with the human condition.

Today is the Day I Forgive Myself

No comments

I will forgive myself for behaving badly in my 20’s while I was trying to figure out who I was. I wasn’t a big party person but I was a know it all.

I thought I understood boundaries and relationships but now I know that I was mostly being an asshole (and a teeny bit judgemental).  I forgive myself because at the time they were the best decisions I knew how to make.

I am not an asshole anymore and I have learned.  It’s time to forgive myself.
