Ok... Soooo Day was long, and it has now been 3 days in a row of feeling like Crap..I have made up my mind, tomorrow will not be the same... I have rested and done many readings, and sloagans, serenity prayer....
And after all that, I had to take my boy for a hair cut, (More like a head shave. :(.. )and since "For Once" My Gal was on time with her hair cuts, she even managed to squeeze me in before here next appt. So I got me a hair cut, and a New Attitude, I may even head back for highlights in the next two weeks... I need a pick me up, and something to make me feel good about myself, so I am taking back my life... Tired of being in a slump, and refuse to stay here....
This has been a the first week in 6 months that has been all about me, and I think that is my problem... I am "Waiting for the shoe to drop", per say, and I have to get out of that mode, I have to get back to HP, My wants and needs, and I think it is going to take some practice, but I hope to get back into the swing of things ASAP...
I am not a quiter and I know if I don't get it together, I will remain here... So it is time to take it back... I am hoping to baby step my way back... I am crossing my fingers for some nice weather this weekend, and hoping to get to spend a relaxing weekend at the river... Pray'n for Calm'ness... We will see what HP has instore for I don't care to project... I will leave that up to him...
Thank you to all my MIP family, for draggin me thru...I hope to return the favor to each and every one of you :) Or at least the best I can :) I am always grateful to hear your thoughts and ESH, and I do try and take it and put it to use... Thanks again...
One Moment At A Time... Keep'n it Simple Pray'n on it, Stay'n on it, Move'n Thru It...
Can't wait to hear about the highlights! For years before I met my A, I made my hair appointments faithfully every 6 weeks and got trendy hair styles, coloros, highlights and the best and of hair products. Well....6 weeks turned to 12 and eventually I started doing my own color and that went on for years....and you know what??????? 3 months ago, I said....enough!!! I made an appointment with my old stylist, got a new do and rescheduled for the next six weeks! And I love it and look forward to it. When I sit in that chair, no telling what I pick. Each appointment is like a new season and a new attitude! LOVES IT! ((( ....lessons learned though, I no longer need to cut it all of into cute pixies or bleach my long dark locks of hair to enjoy the new season anymore...))) I keep it simple now, color my roots, a few highlights a trim or no trim....it feels good to have balance. And my dog always recognizes me when I come in now. Plus the feeling inside I get from taking care of me is BEAUTIFUL!
Good for you on taking care of yourself, I love going to the hairdresser its a real treat. I know you have been through so much for months now and I'm not suprised your feeling drained. Sometimes when things have been hectic for so long it can be confusing to us when the quite time comes. You've been living on your adrenalin and now your feeling the slump. For me I find it hard when I'm left with just ME, no disasters to avert, no drama to get caught up in. It does feel strange and its easy to feel a little lost. Dont fret over it Jozie, relax and make good use of your quite time. Time for new things, a different sort of day. A time to focus on you. I hope you have a lovely weekend
Well, I think you need to add new shoes (to wear, not bonk you on the head) or a new purse to that haircut!
I, too, am in a bit of a slump, but these days I know I'll get to the other side and the sun will shine. I know its true for you too. You can do this! Yes, the attitude....
Blessings, Lou
