Yesterday I said to my kids, “I am fried, fried, fried.” When I asked my daughter what I should blog about, she said, “that you’re fried.” I almost never say I’m tired. However, this was a tough week, some big changes in my life (good, but tough), some new news and a few difficult decisions. Not to mention the general goings on in my house! It was just one of those weeks!
Let me say this, I never get tired of doing things for others. Some times those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts (and mine) and I love that. However, I am tired of those people who take, take, take and still want more. You know what I’m talking about?
I am tired of saying I am ok. Sometimes when I say “I’m okay,” I want someone to look me in the eyes, hold my hand and say, “No, you’re not ok and that’s ok.” We need other people – so let them in when they ask.
I am tired of wanting someone to change. People don’t change unless they want to and some people think they are perfect just the way they are! No one is perfect. Also, equally as true is that wanting to be someone you are not is a waste of who you are.
I am tired of dishonesty – in any form. No explanation needed.
I am tired of people who can’t see the beauty in flaws and failure. I love flaws and failure. It’s what makes life so interesting.
I am tired of wasting my time with people who are just wasting time. I cherish (almost) every moment and I want to be with similar people.
I am tired of one-sided relationships. I love those relationships in my life where when you give to them, they give back even more and then they let you give to them again!
I am tired of people who just can’t find happiness. It is absolutely time to be happy!
I am tired of the expectation that I will be perfect. I am far from perfect and I want to be loved for my imperfections (well, most of them anyway!).
I am super tired of people who look outside and blame others rather than look inside at their own behavior. Yikes!
I am tired of people telling me to listen to their words. This is especially true when their actions have no relationship to their words. There is nothing more beautiful than someone saying they love you when they are showing it at the same time or someone saying, I’m here for you and really being there.
I am tired of my kids saying they are tired. How can they always be so tired? They are too tired to get the mail or do the laundry but not too tired to play Xbox. Really?
Sometimes I just look up and say, “Thanks.” I never get tired of that!
Have a great and restful day!
