Time For The Dentist

Today I HAD to go to the dentist. You all probably love going to the dentist or doctor, right? I am just kidding. I hate going to either one. Not only that, time gets away from me and the next thing I know, it has been longer than it should have been. When I was younger, I was always concerned about my health etc. However, something changed in me and I never looked back. All I know is that "life" will take off, time passes by, and then you are suddenly somewhere where you are surprised. That is what happened to me this past week. There is no one to blame but me. I started taking care of kids and Kari's needs... got married... just living life and then poof; it is a few years later. I have been one to talk about slowing down and living a more simple live, but for the life of me, it is really hard to do these days. I remember when life was slower than it is now.

Well, anyway, I broke my tooth on a carrot. It isn't the carrot's fault, although that would be nice. I have need to get back to the dentist for a while now. It is my fault. I have needed to get back to the doctor too, although it hasn't been that long. There is so much to the doctor's visits that they keep you going. The broken tooth I think is a "blessing in disguise". Yes, I have to get that taken care of but they also found something that could have been a bigger problem. So, in the next couple of weeks with the motivation of possibly being laid off, I am going to try to get all of what needs to be done, done. So, I begin to get things done on Friday. I sat afterwards and took some time to think about what else I need to do.

I know you have heard this before, but make time to care for yourself. Take time everyday for yourself too. I am going to try to get this into my life again. I am one of those types of people that need to be by themselves and just think and plan. I have missed that... being with me. I, again, am the only one to blame. It comes down to managing your time and life. I am not a good manager... I put out fires. I have someone in my life that is a good example of what I should be doing, my husband Dave. But whatever is needed to do in the moment, is what I do. I am pretty sure that isn't what it should be. So if you are like me in that respect, we can try to change together. It will be (another) journey. Hey, what else do you have to do? Don't answer that. :-) Just say "Hooray" and we will try to be positive about changes!
