I think some of this came from working from home last year. It didn’t bother her much, but she was working from home and preoccupied with Granddaddy’s struggles with chemotherapy and lung cancer. That obviously changed her perspective, and she learned that it’s not worth stressing out over a busy season. Better yet, she felt her productivity was better in that regard because she simply did what she could and didn’t have the mental or emotional energy to freak out over the workload. Now, a year later and back in the office, she’s pondering how to apply these lessons to a *hopefully* more settled season in life.
I think this is a good sign, and I’m proud of her. It seems she’s accepted life as it is, and is ready to move on and find hope in the future. That makes me and Bubbs feel much better and relaxed. I think the best course of action is for her to keep doing what she can, and let it go at the end of the day. The people she works with are reasonable, so it never was any use to stress out over it anyway. I’m glad she finally realized that. I think her real question is how to encourage others to have a similar perspective.
Sorry mommy, we can’t help you there. People will think and act as they will. If they want to freak out, you can’t stop them.
All you can do is guard your soul, and try to encourage them by maintaining your peace and balance. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. But always, these busy times pass and everybody winds out ok. You know what really matters now, so hold to that.
I’m just glad to see mommy making progress. I’m used to her being happy, silly, busy, and creative. It’s so good to have that back.
That’s all today. Take care. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.
Luv,
Zack
