One
of the bits of baggage that can sometimes come along with being
middle class is the pressure to pretend that everything is just fine.
Not to air our dirty laundry in public, not to confront our
imperfections, not to let the side down by admitting anything is
wrong or that we need help. That can get a bit wearing at times I can
tell you.
I
am often able to find the positive in things and that is a great
benefit and has seen me through all kinds of tricky times. However,
it is also important not to mask the fact that sometimes things are
not fine. Sometimes things feel crap and sometimes I struggle. I'm no
saint/angel who can manage thoughtful consideration at all times. I
am a wonderfully imperfect human being with my own hurts and
challenges, who sometimes soars and sometimes crawls. Right now my
head is pounding so off I shall crawl. And if I don't feel like
soaring tomorrow, then that's fine too.
Feeling better today. Last day of the holidays and lots and lots to do in it, but hopefully that will include fun. And it's set to be sunny, and with the solar heater due to arrive today - I may even get in myself this afternoon!!
