In class last night, a guy had created an emotional board to use for a presentation he was making. We all had to go up & claim our emotion at that moment. What scared me what that I truly could have said I was all of them at the same time. Well, except one. Happy. But Guilty, Scared, Nervous, Anxious, Bored, Lonely. Those ones all fit.
The truth is, I'm having trouble keeping up with everything going on. I've got my student teaching, school nights, homework papers and presentations, some yucky health stuff, and of course my mother. I'm feeling overwhelmed, and I am ready to be "reborn" away from all of it! Or, maybe taught how to deal with it all, and feel reborn with the relief.
I've been reading a book called "I Am my Mother's Daughter", about caregiving issues and the relationships we have with our Mothers; the good, the bad and the ugly. My mother hung up on me today. That sums up our relationship right now. I am the adult and she doesn't want to see her life for what it is and doesn't like what I was saying. I know her life isn't fair, but whose is?
Hi Jeanne Bean,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for both your posts. Of course!, it can be a process of being reborn, or a wish, or a fleeting thought.. and I'm all about magic wands. In fact, this week with the kids, I bought Vivi this princess crown that she absolutely went gaga for. I will post a pic to facilitate lightness!
