Readjusting
It's been a long and straining week, all things told. I'm feeling physically and mentally tired this morning after having slept badly. My dreams, which I wrote about a long time ago have starting returning recently, last night a couple of addiction issues surfaced and got me off balance, even though the actual dream was rather neutral in emotional terms.
We have a long weekend here, officially we're celebrating Pentecost although I suspect most people don't exactly what that's supposed to mean nor really care either beyond the fact that they've got Monday off as well. It's been brilliantly warm weather for the last week and the prediction is that it will only get better in the next one.
It's also a time out to tackle some longer running family issues. It's never the right time to do this so I'd better get it over and done with before I waste any more time with applied procrastination. Let the games begin.
Keep well...

Glad you've got some warm weather too Bart.
Good luck with tackling family issues. They can be the most difficult and delicate to deal with. It takes a brave soul.
Speak from the heart, speak the truth about how you feel. Speak with "I" and leave "you" completely out of it, because this is about "I" and not the other people.
The truth is liberating Bart... Best wishes :)
Best wishes for good turn-outs as you tackle the family issues. I hope you sleep more soundly tonight.
ah, family... dealing with people that are close to us is often the most challenging...
good luck and leave yourself some space to enjoy the prolongued weekend!
Good luck with it all
We also have a day off on Pentecost Monday. I think we have just made a brilliant celebration by planting 30+ plants we bought from the local market. We also cleared up and mulched most of the veggie garden as well.
re: family issues: yes, there's always never a right time for them.
Yet, it's better to go out and be honest.
I hope you'll find the right time during this wonderful May weather, and referring to Bruno's comment, don't forget about the 'us'.
Good luck to you!
you're quite right lane, family can get you in all the right/wrong ways occasionally and one needs to tread carefully...
i'm grateful for your advice bruno, i tend to forget about myself at times when trying to find solutions to domestic problems, one more matter needing attention...
thanks for the good wishes zilla... as it turned out matters haven't been adequately discussed yet since we've only scratched the surface of running issues, so we're going into the next round today or tomorrow...
i'm glad you can understand my predicament polona, it's a bit of a juggling act here since i also need to include the children in any solution... enjoy your weekend and thank you for your wishes ;-)
thanks helen, it isn't the easiest of tasks but one needing doing...
sounds like you've got a wonderful weekend planned szélsőfa, i envy you a little but we have such a tiny garden there's not much we could do here...
thank your for your advice and your additional comments, in the end i just need to follow my feelings, be true to my ideals and hopefully find a good solution for everybody...
enjoy this wonderful may weekend too :-))
I call everything around me "Noise" - I try to keep focus on my ultimate goal and my journey to my goal - everything just outside of my path is what I call noise - sometimes I like the noise and follow it, sometimes I shut it down and continue on my path. When I do take a new path, I quickly determine if it was meant for me to travel by the level of effort that is required.
In my world - everything is effortless or I don't do it. (I know people are going to bark at this comment but it is true)
i understand completely what you meant by "noise" bruno, it seems much of my life is taken up trying to eliminate as much of the noise, distractions and the chaos around me so i can concentrate on the things that are worthwhile...
sometimes however, when the attention strays much of interest and of worth can be found if i look with open eyes and an open heart...
Everything has it's beauty, if we open our eyes and heart. But even the best of the best sometimes will fail to see the beauty that is right before their eyes.
sometimes it's difficult to see that which is so apparent bruno... one of my favourite descriptions took place in robert pirsig's "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance", where he put forward the idea that in the same way we miss things because they're too small and indistinguishable from the background in size or "noise" quality, we also miss things because they're just so freakingly big, obvious or so totally ingrained in our consciousness of the world that it doesn't come up in us to question them...
in other ways, beauty is also in the eye of the beholder... i can marvel at the beauty of a single leaf or be enthralled by an ant for hours if i have the chance, other people delight in things i have no feeling for whatsoever... vive la difference ;-)
