Do you ever wake up and find yourself grumbling about having to do the same mundane tasks all over again? I have. ‘It’s time to make the doughnuts’, right? We’ve all felt the vibrations from our own groaning.
As life will do, from time to time, it shows us a window that gives us that small glimpse of reality we so desperately need. Thank goodness for the clarity.
As parents, we strain through our children’s stages. We wonder if we’ll be able to endure one more mood swing or grounding (because we all know grounding a child is far worse on the parents). In our work, we find ourselves completely spent some weeks and deliriously push through to the few off hours we may be able to find.
Is this all there is, we ponder?? I did not sign up for this life. How did this happen to me? I had such plans. Well, get over yourself, because you have a pretty good thing going.
One day the boring might end. One day you may find out life will never be ‘normal’ again. You don’t go to work anymore. Your kids grow up. One day you have a spouse, one day you don’t. One day you’re making repairs on your house, one day someone tells you you’ll never go home again.
We go through so many changes in our lives, but the constants, we take for granted. I’ll go on that trip. I will tell that person how I really feel. I will call her tomorrow, she won’t mind waiting. I will lose 20 lbs, I will go to church. I will send someone a card of friendship. I will paint that room. I will learn to play the banjo. I will make a date with my mate. There are plenty of things to try, I just don’t feel like it right now. I just want something better to come along. I’m just so tired of the same old life.
Embrace the normal. You’ll never realize what a precious commodity it is until you wake up one day and you are unable to turn off that annoying alarm and just ‘have a day’. No rushing, no stressing, no wishing you were somewhere else. No just everyday griping about living. Normal is a beautiful thing, enjoy it.
