feeling unplugged... |
into life, that is. lately it's just all felt like WAY too much trouble.
there is so much expected of me as a wife, mother, friend and teacher. i
don't know how to keep meeting those expectations. i feel as if they are
much higher than i can ever hope to achieve. and just the process of trying
is wearing me so terribly down. i am so very weary these days. so many
people for me to "be." i just wish i didn't have to "be" at all. :-(

cI know this feeling. I know how it feels to be so lethargic and
overwhelmed in your spirit that you just feel like giving up.
Remember some of this feeling is temporary. There wil be days when
your faith feels higher and you feel more empowered and able, when you
are more aware of your vital contribution.
Preaching to myself at the same time...

{{{used2be}}}
one of the hardest things i struggle with is trying to be a human
*being* as well as a human *doing*
other people's expectations (or demands) of me tend to become my own.
i hope you can make some time for yourself--some down time--to plug back
into life. it really isn't even the selfish thing it sounds like; if
you take care of yourself you have more of value to give to others. (at
least that's what they tell me <g>)
