Email type of day...

Back and forth with emails to different people most of the day, and I found out that I have a serious problem ... when someone asks me a question I have this annoying habit of thinking they want to know every single detail, and so I have a nasty habit of answering in essay form! Seriously, this is my downfall in life, and not only do I do it in print but I also do it in most all of my conversations!

My other flaw, which I have so many, but this one is that I appear to be what psychologists and others in the mental health field might consider me to be a passive/ aggressive, huh? Yep, you try to act meek and calm when in an unfriendly situation, but then you get in a person’s face with a definite opinion to the contrary! And can literarily take your own life in your hands with the lack of self control.
Nah… I was kidding!
But going through the change of life was almost that way.
Some very nice women that I have met over the years went to hell and back during that time in their lives. Emotions were rampant, but with me it was like this PMS, Peri-Menopause, and then the grand finale…Menopause! And I was thrilled it was over. Some have been known to want to commit murder during this time in their lives, and others had a feeling of hopelessness and desperation to end it all, scary!

Fortunately, when I was in that period, excuse the pun, in my life I would yell or cry easily, and quit a whole lot of stuff that would make me unhappy, crazy! Yep, but beneficial too, deciding on streamlining your life whether all there or not; it worked at the time.
And now that I am somewhat sane, and I use the term loosely, once again I have adjusted my life in recent years also to what works for me and what doesn’t.
Not so crazy after all, huh? Besides with severe dry eyes I can no longer shed any tears!
Yes, we must all know that when we make adult decisions responsibility goes along with those decisions, and so caution in making them is mandatory.

And I do believe that is called judgment.
Today, I suppose I may have gotten slightly off track with those emails that I returned with rehashing old business with my women cousins.

And yet when I received an email from our female Canadian neighbor I was short to the point and exacting, concise if you will, with my return email and non expansive since I felt no necessity to elaborate, odd for me. I suppose that is called: self control! Wow what a concept?

Being of that certain age and finding me with less emotional ways of handling things is almost a sad end to an era. And that is not to say that I don’t have my moments, of course not I have written about many of those embarrassing times right here in print on this Blog, and I have only been doing this a little over a year, spilling my heart, opinions and words of wisdom out. It is a wonderful outlet for anyone who needs to express themselves in this medium, and I feel so good about my loyalty to this project that is similar to a diary or journal. We all should look inside ourselves at times and try to objectively decide where our weaknesses and strengths lie.
I believe that writing down anything in your life that you feel you need enlightenment on may help put it into better perspective. And if you have a trusted ally to confer with that might be able to give you an objective opinion then you got your problem solving down to a science. And in these hard times it also helps in taking out the emotional factors in looking at whatever the trouble/problem is with just the facts, only the facts please, and I betcha that it will work for you too! Nothing to lose and it is a free trial offer.

Now on that proposal of consideration in deciding how to handle these trials of life I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
