Swooping Through Like I Do

I have been very busy lately. The job that I had secured did not work out. I turned my letter of resignation this past week. Which should be freaking me out. But it actually feels very good to be away from that particular center site.

Dealing with women who want to be surpressive on a job is not what I am about. I have worked too long to suddenly go butt backwards by accepting shoddy treatment.

So it is back to square one on that tip.

I now have two new grandchildren. A girl and a boy. They were born almost a month apart. They are first cousins who look like twins.

Genetics are amazing! The girl was born first. She is petite. The boy is a baby Brutus. (Okay~I live in the O~State). But they look like sister and brother. That brings the total number of grandbabies to five. Four girls and one boy.

Their arrival into our family is a real joyful event. I am hoping that we are finished with this particular phase of additions for awhile. I want to enjoy spending time with this branch of my children. I am a little upset because my money will be tight for a few weeks. But God is going to handle that aspect of my business.

It has been awhile since I have posted on this site.

My work schedule is very demanding. Meeting the demands of four ten hour days is rough on a sistah.

However, there are rewards for my efforts. I am in the process of enjoying a four day week end.

That makes it worthwhile.

I have not done much of anything over the past two days. I have spent the majority of my time just resting and relaxing.

It is good not to have every spare moment planned out. That allows you to do whatever you want.

Rest and relaxation is an art form. It is not easily achieved by those who feel guilty because they are not doing anything.

I use to feel that there was something to be accomplished every waking moment. Those feeling stemed from the Super Woman theory.

We could do it all!~Yeah~right! What no one tells you about being that particular woman is the fact that she will wear you low in no time.

I tried and it worked for awhile. Then one day I began to realize that there was no time for me. I was so busy doing for my children and being involved in other interests that I had forgotten how to do nothing at all.

The first act I committed when I realized what was happening to me was a serious self 2 self confrontation. I needed to do that and learn why I felt the need to be busy all the time. Once it became obvious that I had bought into the myth~I became a woman on a mission.

I decided to kill off the Super Woman inside of me.

My method was simple. I picked up my journal and began to write her death notice. It was several paragraphs long. When it was completed, I felt that she would RIP!

I cannot honestly say that I miss her.
