So something has been weighing on me for awhile now.  It is something that I need to work on.  It is that I take things way to personally.  This of course stems from my ability to make everything all about me!  I often find that when people do not want to do things with me or my family....I take that personally.  Rather than just go "f-them" I always think that there is something wrong with me and that maybe if I tried harder, was nicer, or put in more effort that it would change the situation.  Lately, I have come to the sad conclusion that this is not the case.  No matter what I do I can't change someone else's thoughts, feelings, and values.  Its too bad because if everyone thought like I did life would be way easier.  :-)

I know I am sort of rambling....I just have been struggling with the not getting really upset about a series of events that have happened at my work and home life and to not take them personally.  I think this is part of my new learning curve.  I am starting to realize that I need to be confident in me and my family and stop caring about what others think of me.  Even more than that not taking things so personally and let them change my mood or what I do.

That being said I am really trying to use my vacation to get my focus back. Focus on me and my health, focus on my family, and finding my balance between work, family, and fun time.

Well off to have a second cup of coffee and watch some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with me wee one #2
Hope you are all having a great day
