So this week the subject is: Wallow
As I read Brenda's post this morning I was once again amazed at how much our lives have followed the same direction. We both went to college, got married, had kids and were divorced at 34. Being a single mom of young kids is hard - although worth every sacrifice. Anyway, today's subject is "wallow." I have been known to wallow in self pity a few times in my life but I discovered a long time ago that it doesn't do any good, doesn't make you feel any better, basically just doesn't get you anywhere. One of my dad's favorite sayings was: if you don't like the way things are going, get off your *** and do something to change it. How right he was and that is what I try to do anymore. I've gone down a lot of roads and hit many roadblocks. When that happens, you just have to change directions - come up with plan B - or plan C... Every obstacle you get by helps you to grow - to make better decisions - to be a better person. The point is - when you feel like "wallowing" (and we all do at times) - just get up and do something!
On a side note - I've spent the past week with my nose buried in books. It's been so long since I've done any pleasure reading I can't seem to stop. I was up till 1 a.m. this morning because I simply couldn't put the kindel down - it's going to be a long day!
I've been there.. reading until wee hours, that is. The next day is always difficult, and yet I continue to do it! haha!
ReplyDeletemy oh my! Isn't is odd how the paths we walk seem to be parallel? I love your post! And that old wallowing certainly doesn't do anyone any good but sometimes it where we find ourselves isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRead anything good???? tee hee hee
Glad you enjoy your reading... I always try to find some time to do a little reading. I used to sit up until 1, 2, 3 AM and read... no more. That 6:30 wake up call comes too soon!!! :) And I agree... wallowing does no good!!! I try to do as little as possible.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I haven't been able to read much either lately. : )
ReplyDeleteI read or write when I hide...I don't wallow.
