I know how hard it is to know it's time to rest. Life may take you in an entirely new direction. I keep hem hawing and I know I need to do something before I get too down and the decision is made for me. Not easy is it? You are pretty brave looking at work in this way!!!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-79680888800038042322012-01-06T02:35:53.125-05:002012-01-06T02:35:53.125-05:00AMEN, Becky!AMEN, Becky!Michal Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680002305753968190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-49802729299504434982012-01-06T02:09:46.725-05:002012-01-06T02:09:46.725-05:00Jen,
I read your post and all I can think of is t...Jen,<br /><br />I read your post and all I can think of is the word "relief". As a mother hen type, I am SO SO glad to know you are not going to be rushing back to work, and that you will now afford yourself the gift of time to heal and get better. <br /><br />I know what a strong (HUGE) work ethic you have. I saw too how you always pushed through, and did a good job, no matter what was going on. I've also seen you so very stressed about their opinion of you, sick days, scheduling, and wondering if you had a job to come back to. Working 40-50-60 hour weeks is hard on anyone, let alone you who have gone through an INCREDIBLE year(+) of horrible. Is it not a bit of relief to not need to worry and stress about it now? Isn't it a relief to get yourself back on a decent sleep schedule without worrying about getting up for/being rested enoug for work? <br /><br />As your doctors said, it doesn't mean forever, it means now. Now you can focus 100% on YOU and getting better - isn't that a relief? I find myself saying, "Thank you God" for I do believe this is a blessing for you.<br /><br />Today our city hit a record high of 50-some degrees so I took advantage of the weather and did some spray painting. While I was out on my deck spraying away, I thought so much about you. The thought that keeps sticking in my head is this NAMI(?) group you may join. You said you hesitated to go because you'll not learn anything new/you could teach it. Likely the reason it was suggested was for the interaction(?) ANYWAY - I was wondering if you are going to the group. And then, I wonder if you may consider this thought: if you go and happen to be very bored with it, think about how YOU would facilitate the class. What information would you share? How would you do it? So now I've switched from mother hen mode to teacher mode. But I can just see you doing something like this IN THE FUTURE (mother hen is back), not now! So, it's maybe something to put in the wayyyyy back of your mind. Maybe.<br /><br />You see, I believe there is a silver lining for you. I believe that you have SO MUCH to offer. I believe that God is working His Plan for you. I believe in you.<br /><br />Relief. Time to heal - time that you've needed for over a year finally is here! It's such a relief to me. I hope it is for you too!<br /><br />BeckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
