Enthusiasm

Posted on July 24, 2007 by Wyzwmn

I wish I could feel a little more enthusiastic
about life right now

but I’m burnt toast…

my boss
who ascribes to the “never do today
what you can possibly put off
for ever”
train of thought
finally had to get her hiney in gear
and get crackin
as a result
we are working 12 hour days
trying to get 3 months worth of planning
for next year
done by the time I leave on holidays
on the 2nd

I am truly burnt toast

the blister arrives on Sat
I still haven’t mucked out the pig pen
the holidays start on the 2nd
and frankly
what I really rather do
is just sleep

that can’t be bad….can it?

on a good note
the VOD got all growed up
as a result of a couple of sessions of holy holy
with myself
and the bother via phone
so she’s fixed her pension issues
gone to the dentist
gone to the hairdresser
(to get a shorter version of Zippy the Clown, I assume)
and made an appointment with a dental surgeon
to take care of the rest of the mess

she’s even going to go to the dental surgeon
while the blister is here…..

she says that she understands that
I get frustrated with her treating
the bother and the blister like
landed gentry when they arrive

and she says
she’s going to start eating properly
and taking her medication

I can’t see that happening while
the blister is here….but who knows?

in the mean time
I still wish I could drum up
a little enthusiasm
for my pending holidays….
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wyz choices…

Posted on July 18, 2007 by Wyzwmn
It has been my experience in life that you often don’t get outta it what you put into it …

It does make one examine their motivation…

Life is about choices…

If you become a leader of a group or organization do you do so for the accolades or do you do so for the good of the all? So far…in the three times that I have done so…I’ve discovered that being the leader only caused me more trouble…so the accolades are nice…but in the long run it don’t really mean that you are exempt from the shit show that life can become…and we all know that the plumber’s mantra is that “shit runs down hill” – so if ya think you’ve got it bad…it’s only gonna get worse when the people above you get going….

If you mirror your attributes or abilities onto others…are you surprised or hurt when they show their true colors?

When you get euphoric about your relationships with people that you perceive to be “good” because you are basically good…and then they show you that they are mean or selfish or not integral you discover that the shortcoming is really within yourself because truly the only person that you can effect change upon is yourself….

If you are aware of the inherent goodness in people but find that there are some people that continually revert to negatives as their norm…why do you allow it do disappoint you? – again and again…

If you choose to surround yourself with like minded individuals, they’d be like minded…not the “same” or “simple” minded just sometimes they are “like” minded…..and that “sometimes” may or may not be the lion’s share of the time….

If you get blamed for the wrong doings of others…why should it surprise you that someone blames you? Did you think that everyone is fair?….just because you are?

This is the one that often is the hardest for people…the one that gives the greatest heartaches until you come to the understanding that not everyone is living life by the same set of rules as you are…that frankly, your set of rules are likely not important or true to others…so from an integrity/truth/honour/respect standpoint….the definitions are not the same.

Once again it’s all about choices….you can choose to give up and lie down and lose everything…or you can choose to continue to live that life as it unfolds…and to keep trying to do what it is that makes you feel right…what it is that makes you feel proud, what it is that makes you able to look at yourself in the mirror with a clear conscience…

Remember that people truly believe that if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck…and no amount of your vehemently denying to people to the contrary will change their perceptions….because their perception is not your perception of the same damn duck….

In the end…take the time to make Wyz choices….because in the end…you are the one that must live with them….

Don’t give up…
Just remind yourself of what’s important….
and move along….
