How's it going?
It's almost the end of the second quarter 2014. For those who wrote down their New Year's resolutions, how're you doing? While some of us are "just" fine, others are anxious, worried, sleepless. Some continue to suffer from physical pain.
You may be fine but there are those on the verge of bankruptcy with families to feed, with bad debts, with credit cards over the limits. I'm thinking of people trying to make ends meet, those who, no matter how they try can't simply find a job, those who have just lost their jobs, those who recently lost their homes, those who are ill and alone, and those who are simply hurting. You are not alone.
Meantime, let's re-group. Take a deep breath...
- We can only do as much. Let's take a rest in between our labours instead of pushing beyond what we can handle. At least a brief respite before deciding what to do.
- We need to remind ourselves we are limited in terms of energy and time. If you believe in God like I do, can pray for more strength and rely on his promise never to leave us in times of trouble.
- When we push ourselves beyond our human limits, our bad moods surface. I know. I even get cranky and take it on the computer. Others take it on their kids or their partners. When this happens, it's telling us that we need rest from our overwork or high anxieties.
