Ahhh the tinsy breakdowns of life.
The overwhelm, the heart races, the “this is just too much”.
How soft the rug feels.
The strength of the floor on our back.
If we could just stay here a while.
We’ll be ok.
We’ll be ok.
What got you to this place today?
This picture came to me when
it was actually a really good,
fun, exciting, wish list thing I was doing.
I was having a little Christmas craft sale in my home.
Just like I had always dreamed.
I had support.
I had lovely vendors.
I had the RSVP’s.
But I also had the doubts.
The weight of responsibility for all and everything.
I had the tremors of unspecific fears.
So a little lie down on the rug.
Helped me to pull it together a little better.
The sick feeling to pass.
To get up and to carry on.
And this was for a good thing!
We all laugh a little when we see this image.
We have a knowing inside of when we too
Were there
Feeling the softness of the rug
The strength of the floor on our backs.
Metaphorically.
Or Really.
We have all had those times.
There are times you can protect yourself.
Know situations,
Ways of working that aren’t good for us.
The Burn out, the too much today.
There are other times we have to step through
It’s a thing we want to do.
It’s uncomfortable as hell.
It’s putting ourselves out of our safety slippers.
But we need to leap.
Then lay.
And we’ll be OK.
We will really be OK.
Just give us a few more minutes here.
On this comfy rug.
Support on our backs.
We’ve got this.
