Leading a Double Life is not always easy. Sometimes a double life is double responsibility. And sometimes when the responsibilities of one life become too great—in order to salvage my sanity—I’m forced to leave the other life behind. I’ve spent my whole life functioning in multiple roles. Most of us do. Being daughter, wife and teacher was exhausting for me. Adding motherhood to that became overwhelming. The past six months those responsibilities increased to a level that I’ve had to temporarily give up my author/Internet double life. I’ve only checked email via my phone, responding only to emergencies. But that is coming to an end, and by mid-February I should be back to my schizophrenic, neurotic, erotic self, writing and communicating with all of you. I’ve missed you all and appreciate your emails of concern. I will answer personal mail very soon.
I enter 2010 with eagerness, new energy and positive attitude. It’s a new year, a new decade, a new beginning. I resigned from New Year resolutions the year my now ex-husband resolved to play more golf! Besides, my resolutions just became a challenge to break for my rebellious nature. But as I’ve matured (how I refer to growing older) I’ve come to appreciate affirmations.
Next post will be this year’s affirmation. Ponder it with me and share your thoughts. I have many and look forward to sharing them. My wish for all of you in 2010,
“Presume nothing. Expect everything.”
Until next time….
Hugs,
Regina
Presume nothing. Expect everything
Profound! The more I think about this, the more layers I discover in it.
So now you ar a philsosopher too!
Can’t wait for your next post.
Regina, I feel the same way. Been taking care of my daughter and kids. Just coming up for air and my guy’s giving me a hand. Talk soon. Love ya.
Thanks for the comments, Patrika and Jill. Please feel free to post your thoughts on Presume nothing. Expect everything. This is challenging my mind and I love it. The more I meditate on this my spirits are soaring. I can’t wait to see what all of you can teach me.
Hugs,
Regina
