Wasn't it Nike that used the phrase Just Do It?
Encouraging their customers to slip on a pair of their athletic shoes and go for it! Stop holding back and... Just Do It!
That's the key...
Stop holding back!!
At least...
I think that's the key to my problem!!
But instead of Just
What I need to think about is to...
Just SAY It!
Say what's on my mind.
Say what it is that I need!
Say what I have in my heart...
Not in a bad way, but...
Ask for help when I need to; understand what I am going through, and let me know you are there for me, to do what you can to support my efforts. Make sure I get the companionship that I crave when I feel I am all alone in my situation; or just plain all alone in life!
When I am not surrounded by my "tribe", my "peeps", my family and friends, I begin to turn into myself and feel as if I am all alone. As if nobody cares about what is happening over my way...
I know everybody has their own "stuff" going on; just as I have mine. It's when I get into one of those "funks" that I begin to feel this way and think of myself as being the only one.
What I need is for others to understand that I get that way sometimes too; and I need them as much as they may need me!
That's all I want to say...
Just think about me sometimes, too.
I love those last minute outings to do something fun; or just hang out together...give me a 30 minute's notice, and I'm all in!
I love talking on the phone when there's time to have a nice chat. But, a nice chat on the computer can be just as great!! (Just ask my "sis" in Texas!!!) As long as we can communicate with each other, I feel connected.
But, there are still those days when I really just want to be at home. I know the time will come when I won't be able to leave hubby alone. Ever! Unless I get a "sitter" for him, so I can run an errand or two, it will be me here with him 24/7.
That day will come.
But until that day does come, I need to take care of myself and allow for times away from home; whether with family or friends, or even alone.
And, that's when I will...
Just DO it!
Now that I have Just SAID it!
