Some days, positivity is just not in our makeup.
On my low days, I gravitate towards inspirational, clichè quotes and some positive scriptures to find some peace in my own feelings and situation.
Life without tears will be well-overdue for many but bang on time for everyone. And I long for it myself, both impatiently and patiently. Such a contradiction, but I mean - while I wait, I know I can hold on for longer and sometimes I really don't want to wait, because reality sucks so often.
My work life has order. I have systems in place and routine is golden. My home life has order in parts and requires more order, mainly in our minds. We fill our time with friends, family, spiritual activities, work and our energy gets sapped with joyous things, but our energy gets sapped... A customer at work recently mentioned "this rat race" and it's true. Some weeks, I can't breathe for the housework - the laundry, the dishes and the clean clothes that need to be put away because we've all been busy throughout the week.
I want to decorate. But general cleaning and tidying the same places each week/day takes up my free time. School holidays may or may not give the opportunities I desire. And there within lies an issue. I desire a clean and clear home. Less stuff in our home so we have less stuff on our mind. A simple life is craved. One where our keys, wallets and coats are exactly where they can be found before walking out the door. One where a bed is made daily, the carpet is regularly vacuumed, the room looks clear and inviting when we return to it each night. The one where my family feel happy and content in. Soon.
