This week has been ridiculously hectic, I have felt like a dog chasing it's tail for pretty much every minute. I would like to think that I haven't complained (others might beg to differ) but I have expressed the fact that I felt overwhelmed and I have been given the same advice a couple of times, I have been told to count my blessings. I was considering all of this when Maithri wrote a good post about the
alchemy of turning complaints into gratitude and I thought that just maybe the universe was asking something of me.
I really should be heading off to bed if I want to be half sane tomorrow so I won't do as Maithri suggested and list every complaint, just the biggie
I can't catch my breath
I'm glad I can't catch my breath, it means I have a full life.
I
have the privilege of employment.
I
have wonderful kids who invite my involvement in their lives.
I
have a home to keep clean.
I
have clothes to wash.
I
have food to prepare.
Hi Kylie.

ReplyDeletei'm still reading you!
Sweet and uplifting. I love coming to visit you, girlfriend. : )
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie... it was really early in the morning when I responded to you so I couldn't think of anything clever or original. This really isn't much more clever or original, but I'm still reading you too!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you both put on your freakin' glasses and knock it off (Peter, are you taking note of this?). Oh, and darling debbie is here too!!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteKylie, you sound like me and I learned something from you today. Your week is like my every week and it's nice to just inhale, exhale and remember that it's crazy because it's all wonderful. Without my damn blog roll I rarely visit out dear Maithri. I will because he always brings out the best in people. Thank you for this one. You remind me of all the things that matter. I love you my dear friend. Hang in there and know I'm thinking about you. You'll survive because you always do.
Much love,
Suze
Hi Kylie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post. I'm going to attempt some alchemy myself. It's great, I hope I can get it done.
Best wishes,
Skeeter
Hey Special,
ReplyDeleteLovely post - as always!
Sometimes it's difficult to catch one's breath when there are too many things to be done. I believe, like you, that it's connected with how full our lives are and that we are blessed to have such richness in our lives. Saying that, it can sometimes be difficult to remember that - thanks for reminding all of us.
Love ya hun,
