Another slammed to the wall busy day ahead of me. So ... in case cannot grab an opportunity to journal I thought I would do so quickly before I leave for work.
Other than being very tired I am fine. I do find myself getting slightly overwhelmed and a tad on the cranky side. I need to watch my crankiness/anger. Sometimes I come across as angry when I am not really angry at anyone, just frustrated that I cannot keep up. Important for me to pay attention too though because others may not understand that. Of course my clients don't see it ... but my poor colleagues do.
So, a quick grateful list and I'm off to walk the dog, hair and make-up, finish putting together my lunch and launch into the day ...
1. I am grateful for being mindful that I am slightly stressed with the workload and know I need to be mindful of how I am interacting with my colleagues.
2. I am grateful for my colleagues that still show up to work, even though they are under great personal stress.
3. I am grateful for sleeping well last night ... even though morning seemed to come much too quickly I slept fairly well!!!
4. I am grateful for routines. I'm not sure I would get through the morning without my routine!!!
5. I am grateful that soon this day will be over ... and at least tomorrow I don't have a day packed full of appointments. I can decide if I want to take some time off (I am well over my hours for the pay period) or if I want to go to the office and catch up on paperwork. Today will help me decide!!
So off I go ... practicing kindness towards myself as I acknowledge that I can come off intensely, looking angry, frustrated, and cranky and not feeling badly about it. However, at the same time, I want to be mindful of how I interact with others ... they are precious to me. May you be mindful as well ... so easy to be kind to ourselves when we are feeling calm, 'in control', pretty ... more difficult to be kind to ourselves about those things we really don't like about ourselves. It isn't a matter of "liking" everything about us ... it IS about acceptance. We are who we are ... and while we do work on ourselves ... we still are who we are. Remember. We cannot change what we do not own. Own YOU today!!! Have a good one my friends ... take care!!

Yes you are right when we are overwhelmed we can appear to seem angry and unhappy when we are only preoccupied with getting the tasks at hand accomplished. I definitely understand where you are coming from and I will use it as a reminder for myself to smile!! Thanks Carol. Funny I have been thinking about time off myself. I am scheduled for October 9-17th but am thinking I just may need a day or two before that. It's just that the workload is so heavy I would like to get caught up first. lol Talk to you later!! Enjoy your day!!

Moose, thanks so much for the gentle reminders that you provide daly, taht life is a gift and should be enjoyed, even the rough parts. And thanks for the reminder that we should be kind to ourselves! I tend to forget that from time to time.

Moose, no sorry is necessary. You say there isn't enough of you to go around but your presence is like a bright diamond; strong, resilient, multi-facited, beautiful colors that reaches towards the sun even through cloud cover. From your daily journals you give us so much. Your buddies and I appreciate you very much. TOWANDA!!!!!!

Thank you dear friends. I have been much too busy and am really starting to feel it. I'm fried and I have a stack of things to do at work ... all the paperwork I've generated from all the work in the field I've been busy with. I'd love to take tomorrow off but I think I will feel better if I get some paperwork sorted out and done ... I don't like it when I feel like this. This is where the rubber meets the road in terms of practicing kindness towards myself. Can I accept my limitations? Can I deal with not keeping up? Can I accept that I feel cranky and out of sorts? Breathing deeply, looking forward to sleep and hoping I am a little brighter eyed in the am.
