JUST DO IT!

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 DO It...

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!
