Lifting Your Head

Yesterday life caught up to me.  In order to keep myself from thinking too much about life, or about what's missing, or just at all, I have kept myself moving at 100+ mph every second.  I work a full time job and also managed to complete my MBA degree in  12 months, but somehow that wasn't keeping me busy enough, so I also took on another job, begin planning for my career as a CPA (that brings us to 3 jobs), started volunteering my time with the church finances, and also squeezed in a new diet and workout plan.  It still wasn't enough, I was still thinking, I was still sulking in my own self pity (as witnessed in my last post) I needed more activities.  So I vowed to get my house clean, go on a budget, make a baby quilt for my friend and her upcoming loved one, then yesterday happened. 

Nothing in particular brought me to my break down, I can probably honestly blame it on hormones, but nevertheless, it was a slap in the face.  At 8am I began crying, it was a soft cry, just a constant rolling of tears from my eyes with no effort whatsoever.  This happened on and off all day.  Then as I left to head to one of my many activities, I realized, I had neglected a major part of my life at home.  When I finally made it home I hit bottom, I fell to the floor and sobbed.  I cried for a good 30 minutes, convulsions and all.

This was my sign to myself, I need to slow down, I need to feel those feelings, I need to have those thoughts, I need to face life headon, not with my head down just passing through.  My head hasn't lifted yet, it's still down with passiveness, but soon, yes, soon, I will lift my head and face the day.  I will attack life head on...
