Busy..Busy..Busy
This week has been interesting. I went to work on Monday just like any other day at work. I have been a little stressed about different projects and things that need to be completed. I was feeling really crunched at the end of last week and probably letting it get the best of me. I reacted to some situations in the wrong way. I went to work on Monday promising myself that I would make them right and not react that way again.
Well, Monday came. It was not what I expected. Things did not happen the way I invisioned them. It was a let down. Why do we go into life expecting more than we should and then get disappointed when we don't get it or it doesn't happen the way we expected? I have been thinking about that. Needless to say, I was a little put out.
That being said, in the middle of the day, I recieved word that we were invited to go to Ogden and make memories. I believe you already know about that. After sharing my thoughts in the event, I guess I was not looking at it with the right perspective. I probably shouldn't have posted them, but that is what I do best. I put my foot in my mouth and ask for more.
I was probably not the best company. I did not socialize much. I was not focused on being with family. There were some brief moments of joy, but they did not last long. I had my priorities messed up. Now I question myself, why do I let the busy things of life get in my way? Why do they distract us? Am I doing the wrong thing?
Tuesday, I went to work at 6, that is in the A.M. Not normal as of late. I jumped in and expected miracles to take place. They didn't. In fact, nothing went as planned. I was at work way late and probably left work with more questions than I went to work with. I am letting the entire thing get in my way. I was glad that someone did not let the business of life get in their way and took time to share with me. It helped put things back into perspective, short lived as it was.
Today, I was at work at 6, yes A.M. again. I accomplished even less today than I have in the past two days. I realized that I was not the only one going to work with expectations. The tension at work is so high that many of our are loosing it. We are letting the craziness get in the way of reality. Right in the middle of some very highly tense moments, an agent entered one of the offices we were meeting and told us she did not feel well. She was loosing feeling in her arms. Then she collapsed into a chair. She started mumbling and trying to tell us what was wrong. Everything was sinking for her. We asked if she had family we could contact. She told us she didn't. Then she remembered a sister, in another state, but could not remember her phone number. She knew her name, but could not remember how to find it on her cell phone. I was useless at this point. Not much I could do but watch and comfort. It became my job to go out front and wait for the medical team to arrive. Life suddenly came back into perspective. All the craziness went away. Life is too short to loose sight of that. I have had to remind myself of that several times today. She was taken to the hospital. I don't know what the diagnosis was. The craziness of work crept back into our lives and the tension level went right back to where it had started. However, I started slowing down, taking it one project at a time. We would cross a hurdle and figure out how to approach the next.
I encourage you all to do the same. Don't let it overwhelm you. Tak time to remember the important things. Sometimes that means dropping what we are doing and playing with the nieces and nephews. Maybe we just need to take a blanket out side and read in the sun light or the shade of a tree. Or is it that we need to look for someone around us who needs company and making time to be that company, even when we don't want to. You will be amazed at how it will change your view on life.
Love you,
Dad
