My bucket runneth low today.
Permalink  

I'm having a hard time today getting out of my own head. Had a friend call this morning upset about gossip. I am usually really good to just listen and empathize a bit, then remind my friend that other peoples opinions are none of our business, but today I feel like I blew it and I really let it get to me and interrupt my serenity. I realize I am not perfect. The call apparently came at a hard time for me. Been dealing with extreme weather, broken down car, uncooperative kids, and tech issues that are frustrating our Homeschool for two weeks, now. I guess I just hadn't realized that my bucket was running empty. Time to take some time out to care for me.

I felt that way yesterday after I talked to a friend about some things I am dealing with. She told me the truth but was not very encouraging. I didn't feel that great last night but today I have some better energy.

oh Calgon - take me away!

All the best,
Eve

Hugs Jen, I know when I'm at my wits end it's usually because I'm not taking care of me. A quick break from it all followed by a gratitude list really goes me good. Sending you love and support.

Hugs S :)
