Been hurting about a few things the past few days and while I wish it wasn’t so, the reality of life is sometimes stuff happens and people do things that we don’t understand, and can’t do anything about. Since this is my blog though I can at least vent about it and maybe someone else can help their hurts too. This whole situation really makes me want to revert back to my teenage self and stay in my bed listening to “Everybody Hurts” on my I-pod (well teenage Mandi had a Discman) but unfortunately my kids still have to eat and my husband does have to work (actually so do I… man being an adult sucks sometimes) So I have to keep reminding myself that I can only control me and people are going to do what they are going to do, they have made their choices and I have made mine. Sometimes the best and hardest thing we can do is to let go and move on. The Serenity Prayer keeps running through my mind but I found this as an old Mother Goose rhyme and it seems to fit.
For every ailment under the sun
There is a remedy, or there is none;
If there be one, try to find it;
If there be none, never mind it.
(W.W. Bartley)
So I’m working on never minding it and reminding myself that time and distance heal a lot of things including my heavy heart… not to mention trying to get rid of that song stuck in my head! Where is my angry girl music when I need it! (says teenage Mandi- Alanis rocks!!)
Awww Pookie. I hope whateverrr youre going through gets resolved or you can at least feel better about it. I loved teenage Mandi and Alanis. Love your blog too pumpkin its a good tool to get out your feelings out. Ill Miss you on Saturday LOOOOVE YOU.

ReplyDeleteThere is a Buddhist philosophy that was passed onto me recently that is similar.
ReplyDeleteIf a problem has a solution, there’s no need to worry; if a problem has no solution, there’s still no need to worry; there’s no reason to worry at all.
