This past week has been an interesting one for many reasons…
1. Went to Melbourne for work. Made me realise by listening to some negativity down there that it is draining on the people whom listen – so going forward – if i have some negativity that i need to vent – it will be to a journal or something inanimate and if i need to further download – then i will call on someone whom i know will give me the best advice – so simply the ear i need for to listen.
2. Relations with other work colleagues whom have a similar personality to me – I have to learn to accept some situations and some people and even if i believe that what they are trying to do is wrong or indifferent and as long as my integrity is not upset and im in no moral or physical danger – then soooo be it. I need to learn how to diffuse some situations in the sense tha i am an aries, im stubborn and im just as much to blame for certain conversation purely by the way i react. Some people just need to win their power battle… im getting to the point where that simply does not interest me at all.. its too draining and there is simply other stuff which is so much more important.
3. My dad ended up in hospital this week. The hospital was a small hospital and he was released after lunch yesterday but they do not definetely know what is wrong as yet although he is comfortable to travel and will be in brisbane next week. When he gets home – he needs to immediately go to his GP and get this issue sorted. One relief is that it is not heart related. Phew.
4. A colleague of neils passed away this week by his own intent. I met him for the first time last week and i must say i have been touched by this more than probably i should be. im saddened for him, his family and his friends and for the people whom worked with him. He was only married 6 weeks ago. I am saddened that he could see no other option. I am saddened that depression take such a hold on people and its grip is so unrelenting if you allow it to be.
Therefore after all that ranting – i am grateful for my life – the good, the bad and the ugly. It is my life, i love my life, i love the people and things in my life – they are there because i want them there – some unknown for the reason at this point – but none the less – it is what it is.
I need a holiday and the 56 days until we leave for our German Trip seems so far away – yet not so long to wait for.
Enjoy your weekend – i know i will
xx
Keep on keeping on....
