Some advice. Chaos. Stress. OCD overload.
posted by: VixenI offer this advice for someone no longer in my life.
I rarely see this person. I have next to no contact with them. But we are forever tied by two precious entities. I have made mistakes in my life. I have taken roads possibly I shouldn’t have. Wished I’d made different, better choices for myself. I could harbor animosity and anger over a great number of things. From the past and the present….concerning this person.
But I don’t.
I.
just.
don’t.
But he does.
*shrug*
Oh well.

I know I said CQW would be back this week but fuck if I’m not feeling run ragged and stressed. We have done SO much driving and running around since the kids got out of school last week. Children transporters extraordinaire.
Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed the holiday. I always do. But now with New Years just around the corner and extravagant plans having been made….it seems one of the many things that I’m not finding time for is Blogland (my OCD is in massive overdrive and I’m putting so many things aside which only makes my OCD *worse*). I appologize to my friends who’s blogs I haven’t been by, I miss you all. So rather than post something I know I won’t have time to follow up on or respond to (which I like to do with CQW in particular), I will postpone the topic for next week. Tune in for HNT though! One more theme- Year End Favorite. Followed by a special Year End Friday Favorites!

Happy HUMP Day!!!

oh first to comment?! wow.
I agree – don’t harbor anger. learn and move on, or at least try (daily).
I have been having anxiety issues lately too (I know not OCD….but you know) – think it is this time of year. It is stressing on so many levels. I vote to spread some of this out into July.. gosh.
alright. to bed

Can I be your personal assistant? That would either help the stress or send it through the roof!

Those are powerful words. I am one of those people that doesn’t give up on a grudge easily so I can appreciate the wisdom of the suggestions, but implementing them is less easy. I will forgive, but I never, ever forget. And it tends to cause resentment sometimes.
Trying to change is hard sometimes….
Happy New Year to you!

I love your big beautiful heart!
You are a better person for being the way you are, and letting the past be the past.
I hope things settle down for you soon, and you don’t feel so stressed and ragged.
*hugs*

Agree completely with the sentiment… and I’m trying very hard to implement it in my life right now.
Christmas is fun, but I find it too busy and stressful too… hope things settle for you soon!

Resentment and bitterness can eat away at your core if you let it (man have I seen that happen) so sage advice there for sure baby imo…
Breathe and try to slow down – we will soon be past the madness of this time of year into boring old January… :)

vixen, that is incredible advice. really. it’s so much easier to get over it than harbour it all, isn’t it? you are a beautiful person and i’m so glad to have met you here. i think it’s been tricky for many of us to get to blogging, hey?
happy new year babe!

Great quotes- probably good perspective for many! :)

I have one of those too. I try and try not to harbor anger, it’s hard to do when the other person does and keeps throwing things in your face.
*sighs*
Happy New Year!
