I have to be honest. I struggle most days with most things in life. The herculean tasks of life for me are actually easier than the everyday stuff. I look at people I know who are organized, pay their bills on time, remember other people's birthdays and sit down at an actual table to eat a meal and I remember that while they may be gifted at that, I have other gifts.
What are they exactly. Well I'm not sure how to put it into words but on a good day important people have asked my help.
But back to my daily struggles with daily life.
I'd say a good 30% of my waking hours are spent trying to decide whether to "keep going" (at what you ask - well reaching for the golden ring I suppose) or just blow it all off. Put my feet up - and not as a means to support my laptop - but just put my feet up and relax. I am actually unemployed at this time for the first time in my adult life and I really do wish I could just kick back. But I can't. Something makes me keep going. Not just for the golden ring stuff - but because I do really think there are people counting on me. On some days I think I have an overinflated sense of self-importance and that everyone would do just fine if I decided a cashier job was my next move. And then other days someone hits me with the wet dishrag of reality and makes me realizes that people are making actual decisions with their life based on promises I've made. Like ... um... my kids.
Anyway - bottom line - I had an experience today that made me realize how little it takes to encourage me to keep going. I discovered that someone somewhere thought that one of my makeover tips were worth putting on a "list". It was enough to fuel me for at least another couple of days.
