The only thing that matters now is my mission, nothing will stand in my way anymore.
I have been wanting to write all weekend but my mind wouldn't settle long enough to get the thoughts out... I would start a blog post and half way through I would be writing about a completely different thought. So I scrapped those two and decided it would be best to just get to bed early, I ended up waking up at 3:30 am and basically I have been up ever since. Which has left me a great deal of time to just think about things, some things are hard to let myself think about so I tend to do whatever I can not to ...
I did let myself think about it this morning and I came to a realization that I am lost right now, I don't seem to have a direction, I am going in so many ways that I now understand why I can't sleep. I am not settled with anything right now, everything is up in the air. I have to move by no later than June, it has not been easy to find a place where I want at the price I want.... I have to figure out something soon though, I can't and don't want to stay here after June. My work is even chaotic right now, a lot of changes happening that means I have to make drastic changes to stay with them... more training, more knowledge. Which I sometimes feel I am out of the loop there at times.
Since I am not sure where I will be living, I may have to think out of area which would be changing Valentina's school, I think that would be really hard on her, she will be eleven this spring. That is weighing on my mind, I want to do the best for Valentina and I think keeping her with her friends is the best option, if at all possible. Also with work, it could mean changing positions which could be different hours, like I said, lots of changes for me in the near future.
Plus I have unresolved issues that I am still trying to work out, those tend to be harder than the other issues combined. I mean, I know I will find a place and move by June, I know I will figure things out at work and move up. I don't know the answers to my unresolved issues, there isn't an answer that I can come up with, I have tried to work it out to no avail. I wonder if sometimes there is no answer? That frustrates me, I am the kind of girl who wants answers, explanations, discussions, I don't do well with silence.
I am still losing weight but slower which is fine, I need to get more committed to the gym again, which means less time for writing. It's a good healthy trade off to be able to get to my goal, I am really excited about that. It has been a long time since I have been excited about anything, I would like to take this excitement into other parts of my life. I went out on a date, really nice guy, friendly, respectful but there was nothing there for me. At least I am trying, I am sure I will meet someone else soon, I am just taking my time and waiting for the right one.
It seems like you've just hit a point in your life where change is forcing itself on you, which may not be a bad thing. Sometimes it's hard to accept or make change until you have no other choice.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with finding someplace to live, your job changes, and your unresolved issue.
Thank you Jaimie, I think if I could fix my unresolved issue... that would fix a lot of other things... :-/
DeleteI hope you get things figured out soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult when you don't know where you are going. You deserve so much and I keep praying that things are going to just start falling into place for you.
Awe thank you Betty, you are always sweet to me, I really appreciate it:)
DeleteYou are so strong Launna. I know that you will accomplish all that you set out to do and more. Be as kind and supportive to yourself as you are to others. Perhaps if you concentrate on the concrete tasks of learning the new material at work and looking for a new home for you and Valentina, the unresolved issue will sort itself out while you aren't looking. I believe in you.
ReplyDeleteThank you my Cindy, I do really think if I could resolve that issue, other things would fall into place much quicker... I will have to do it backwards for now..
DeleteLaunna all I can honestly say is go with the flow. If you are meant to have these changes let them happen and let God handle it for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment Rae, I know... I just have to go with the changes...
DeleteChange can be good, dear. You're a strong person and I know you'll figure it out. :)

DeleteWell at least you had a GOOD date. As for the other stuff, the best advice someone gave me one time was to solve the easiest problem first. The less you have to think about the less overwhelming the biggest problem will seem. I know flinging a place is not the easiest thing but worry about getting that done and don't worry about the if ands and buts about changing schools until it's a reality.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kenya, I am trying to take one thing at a time... hopefully everything comes together...
DeleteDo a vision board. It's a thick piece of poster board onto which you paste pictures of the things you want in your life. Look through magazines or on the web and find photographs of the place you want for you and your daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe tables, windows, etc. Do the with your work. Find a picture of someone doing what you want to do in the next phase of your life.
You can't hit what you can't see. Vision boards work for me.

Thank you Rick, I live vision boards, I have one on my blog. I have been thinking of doing a board here that I can change up easily :)
DeleteHi there. Dont give up! I know the feeling of being lost. Somehow you will figure everything out.

DeleteUncertainty can be a huge stress-inducer, if you let it. Don't let it. Have faith that things will work out.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it's necessary for your daughter to change schools, she'll adapt. YOU are the most important constant in her life.
Thank Susan... uncertainty isn't always bad... it just never seems easy :-)
DeleteBeautiful post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anita ;-)
DeleteGood luck to you with your changes. My sister-in-law just went through some really big changes all at once, and they were to the point of being overwhelming at the time...they really stressed her out, one included moving. She has had THE best most wonderful changes take place though, as a direct result. I wish that for you too! Change can be very good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosey... whenever you throw moving in the mix... it makes it stressful... :-/ ... I'm glad it went so well for your sister in law ;-)
DeleteI hope you can get things resolved concerning a place to move to and your job and all. You have been through so many changes in the recent past. Sometimes it just takes time for everything to fall into place.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy... I am hoping everything will fall into place as it is meant to be... I just have to be patient :)

Deletewell i think that sometimes it is better to be silent, because the right words (or the truth) can hurt somebody more deeply than physical injuries.
ReplyDeletethank you for your comments.

dahi
You might be right DK... the only problem is I am the one living with the silence and sometimes that's pretty painful.... :-/
DeleteI hope you figure out what's causing you not to sleep at night, and work out the unresolved issues, if anything time sometimes will work it out too, and yeaaah I need to start committing to the gym again too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pop.. I may have this figured out soon... although the unresolved issue breaks my heart over and over :'(
DeleteYou are a very strong woman that has been through a lot I am sure things will figure itself out and you will get backon track...
ReplyDeleteThank you Steffy... I hope I'm strong enough to deal with the changes coming ... :-/

ReplyDeleteThank you Tamina and you're welcome ;-)
DeleteI just stumbled upon your blog and I loved reading this post. You write honestly and I like that. My blog is not personal, but I always enjoy to be personal through comments and I totally understand how it can feel to be so out of the loop with answers. The universe is always balanced and whenever I have nothing or am so out of sorts, I always say out loud whatever it is I need or want. If I need to have something come to me, I say it and if I want something, I say I will get it out loud to the universe. Hope all works out for you dear and hope you will get a chance to stop by and visit me soon! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia, I do believe I have grown, I have reread many of the old posts too... It's too bad with all that I have gained... I have lost something really important. .....
