hit right between the eyes with a blind spot....

You know.... I really want to think that Sir and my parents are having conversations behind my back. Thats the easiest way to explain why they all keep saying the exact same things to me lately. Of course, it couldnt be because I have this big blind spot, could it? *sigh* OK. I have no choice but admit to it. Its one of those things I was alluding to when I said saying, Yes, Sir and embracing something are quite different. Hes been getting quite a bit of that Yes, Sir lately. And I really have meant it! I wouldnt go against His specific instructions on things, but I have been chomping at the bit to be released from some of the restrictions. Now I am having to learn to embrace those limits. To accept the fact that I am NOT superwoman, no matter how hard I have tried to convince myself (and others) that I am. I read something today In the Valley of DevNovo that really resonated with me. Its a reason, not an excuse. That statement just hit me between the eyes. Ive been ignoring this blind spot of mine because it felt like I was using it as an excuse. I hate excuses for not doing things that need to be done. And I especially hate it when I see myself doing it. Yes, like most people, I take a day here and there and DONT do the things I know I need to do. And I tell myself that we all need a lazy day in order to recharge the ole batteries. It took me a long time to truly embrace the reality of that statement and accept that it isnt an excuse. When Sir and I were talking about this topic yesterday, I was trying to make a joke about it. You know.... Trying to minimize all this and convince myself that things would just go back to normal tomorrow. He kind of looked at me and said, You really do have a blind spot about all of this, dont you? Maybe thats why your parents keep saying the same things I am? For today, I am going to try to embrace my inabilities as reasons, not excuses. For today, I am going to work on NOT freaking out about what Im not getting done. For today, I am going to try to look at ONLY today. Now, if I can just remember this whole mantra tomorrow.... |

The key to using a daily mantra is to actually say it out loud and believe everyday. It can be very effective you just have to stay positive.  I am just me         My box is nearly full ~ Helpful links for standard members submissive to submissive ~ For newcomers and not so newcomers.

Slavekat, I really should watch that movie again! There are so many TRULY important concepts provided in a comic manner. Yes, baby steps.... (Love you, sweetie!) MyLove, have you been talking to Sir, too? lol He keeps reminding me to look at the positive in all of this. I know the reason I keep having such negative thoughts about the whole topic (and all the medical bills starting to come in) is that I haven't accepted the fact that I have to make changes in my life.... Thank you for helping Him remind me that I can get the right view of all this! Marie, it just kind of feels like life is almost too hard at times, doesn't it? I truly hope you find peace and happiness in your new life. Please feel free to help me remember to stay positive and I promise to throw it right back at you! Hecate, lady, you just hit the nail on the head! And I'm so glad you were ordered to bed for another weekend! It sounds as though you need some serious rest!

Darling Mystic, I would be honored to know it is in your quote book! It is difficult to remember that our bodies are flesh and blood at times. We get so used to them doing what we ask of them so often....
