Random Thoughts on a Tuesday

I just went into Costco and made it out having only spent $10.00! I know it's hardly believable but it is true. My secret, I only visited the photo counter, and then the eye counter. I had photos to pick up and questions to ask. No basket, no temptation, in and out. It rarely happens but on this gray March day I needed a red letter moment.

I warned you in the title this was going to be random. Next thought is to cut yourself some slack. I recently came to the bottom (at least I am hoping it was the bottom) of a downward spiral of overwhelmedness (not a real word), guilt, self loathing (that may be a bit strong to use here). You ladies know the drill. I swear I didn't even see it coming, or realize that it was happening, until I was almost at the bottom. Of course usually the bottom occurs when you become aware of the downward motion. Everyone in my immediate world has been the brunt of my fall at some time or another, with Steve taking most of the blows. So I am just saying give yourself room to be human, women, mother's, slackers, whatever it is that you feel you don't have room for. I really think that for the most part we are doing alright most of the time. Now the trick is to remember that. Happy gray March day.
